[QUOTE="Pete Harcoff, post: 816746, member: 3351"] From the ICR ([url]http://www.icr.org/abouticr/tenets.htm[/url]): [i]"... the administration and faculty of ICR are committed to the tenets of both scientific creationism and Biblical creationism as formulated below."[/i] And further down, under [b]Tenets of Biblical Creationism[/b]: [i]"All things in the universe were created and made by God in the six literal days of the creation week described in Genesis 1:1-2:3, and confirmed in Exodus 20:8-11. [u]The creation record is factual, historical, and perspicuous[/u];"[/i] and, [i]"[u]The Biblical record of primeval earth history in Genesis 1-11 is fully historical and perspicuous[/u], including the creation and fall of man, the curse on the creation and its subjection to the bondage of decay, the promised Redeemer, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge in the days of Noah, the post-diluvian renewal of man's commission to subdue the earth (now augmented by the institution of human govemment) and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel."[/i] In other words, they already have drawn up their conclusion and cannot deviate from it. AIG is a little more explicit in their [url=http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/about/faith.asp]Statement of Faith[/url]: [i]"The scientific aspects of creation are important, but are secondary in importance to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Sovereign, Creator, Redeemer and Judge."[/i] [i]"[u]The account of origins presented in Genesis is a simple but factual presentation of actual events[/u] and therefore provides a reliable framework for scientific research into the question of the origin and history of life, mankind, the Earth and the universe."[/i] [i]"[u]The great Flood of Genesis was an actual historic event[/u], worldwide (global) in its extent and effect."[/i] And the real kicker is at the bottom, [i]"[u]By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.[/u]"[/i] * (emphasis all mine) So, you'll understand if I'm more than a little skeptical at accepting a geologist's claims about the age of the Earth who works for the ICR or AIG.
