Hello! I'm not an American, I have never been to America. I'm evangelical and a YEC. There are many outside the USA. God Bless YouYour American (evangelical?) idea of what the Bible is is very rare, globally. I do not understand the question.
Was your YEC brought to you from the USA or did it originate in your country?Hello! I'm not an American, I have never been to America. I'm evangelical and a YEC. There are many outside the USA. God Bless You
If by “global views” your including atheists and people of other religions who don’t believe in Jesus then I’d say yes they do share a common belief about the Bible that you do but I’ve been here on CF for 7 years now and I can’t think of a single person other than you who says that some of the book of the Bible didn’t come from God. Last time I check was about 2 years ago I think and I had over 17,000 posts here on CF so one would think that if the majority of Christians actually thought that certain book in the Bible weren’t actually inspired by God I would think I would’ve seen some sort of evidence of that by now. I’ve had many claim that certain passages aren’t intended to be taken literally and that they are metaphorical but that’s not the same as saying that they were not the result of divine inspiration. What your actually saying is extremely rare in Christianity.This specific thread is hardly a solid evidence for the global views of the Bible. Its called a social bubble.
Like the YEC or the Flat Earth or the KJVO are basically non-existent outside of the USA, so also this strange biblical subjective literalism is. And my guess is it’s spread only in some specific parts of the USA.
There were YEC believers in Great Britain before there was a USA! For example James Ussher: James Ussher - WikipediaWas your YEC brought to you from the USA or did it originate in your country?
I mean the modern era YEC, after we know the scientific age of the universe. Not in the middle ages. Where did the idea that you should ignore our modern information and stick to the literal reading of Genesis come from to you?There were YEC believers in Great Britain before there was a USA!

God Bless You
The YEC is taught only in very few denominations and most of them are in or from the USA.If by “global views” your including atheists and people of other religions who don’t believe in Jesus then I’d say yes they do share a common belief about the Bible that you do but I’ve been here on CF for 7 years now and I can’t think of a single person other than you who says that some of the book of the Bible didn’t come from God.

The Middle Ages ended in 1500. James Ussher lived in the Modern era. There have been YECs consistently in Great Britain for hundreds of years until now. When did you know the 'scientific age of the universe'? Do 'scientists' even have an agreed figure now? God Bless YouI mean the modern era YEC, after we know the scientific age of the universe.

Oh, sorry, so the 16th century.The Middle Ages ended in 1500. James Ussher lived in the Modern era.
Sad.There have been YECs consistently in Great Britain for hundreds of years until now.
Not sure what you mean by "when".When did you know the 'scientific age of the universe'?
Yes. Does the Bible have an agreed figure now?Do 'scientists' even have an agreed figure now?

Kindly read the article I sent you about James Ussher. That was his work. God Bless YouYes. Does the Bible have an agreed figure now?
19th century, Seventh Day AdventismYou said there's a modern era YEC after 'we know the scientific age of the universe'. So when does this 'modern era YEC' begin? What date? When did it begin?
Do you know that the Septuagint and the Massoretic texts have different numbers when you sum their genealogies? By thousands of years different. Science can correct itself, but how can you correct two different Bibles?Kindly read the article I sent you about James Ussher. That was his work. God Bless You
Baptists for one. Here's an article on John Smyth the founder of the organized Baptists. You will note that the English Baptists influenced the later Bible believing groups in the USA, not the other way round: John Smyth | Puritan leader, Separatist, DissenterFeel free to name denominations teaching the YEC outside of the USA.
There were definitely YECs in Britain before the 19th century and definitely YECs after that. There isn't a watershed in the 19th century where YEC believers suddenly appear. And the idea of YEC was promoted in Britain before there was any USA. YEC is not an idea that originated in the USA, although many American believers are YECs.19th century, Seventh Day Adventism
James Ussher was the primate of all Ireland. You'll find that in the article. Young Earth Creationism was the dominant view in the church at that time. Even William Shakespeare wrote in the play 'As you Like it' - The poor world is almost 6,000 years old.Ussher is irrelevant, just one guy who summed something. Its not a denomination and it was never an official teaching in his own church he was a member of.
I’d be willing to bet that you’re a libertarian. It’s the way your arguments skirt around the issue that gives it away.The YEC is taught only in very few denominations and most of them are in or from the USA.
Regarding the rest, you have a habit to be very imprecise in your representation of what I say.
Also, definitions differ. God's words or inspiration can mean various things for various people. Do not automatically suppose that people agree with you just because they use the same term. Those terms are from the Bible, so its logical people will use them. But your specific usage of of them is very rare, globally.
Yeah YEC and OEC isn’t even a denominational issue. I’m not aware of any denominations that require any particular stance on this topic.That's complete rubbish! God Bless You
Actually yes it does and it hasn’t changed once since the day it was written 3,500 years ago.Yes. Does the Bible have an agreed figure now?
I fail to understand how a YEC “modern era” can even exists for a theology that has existed nonstop for 3:500 years. The “merdern era” of YEC is still the exact same YEC that Moses wrote. Whats modern about it?19th century, Seventh Day Adventism
How do you correct two different bibles? So let me ask you this, if I were to translate the US Constitution into Spanish and made errors while doing so how would you go about detecting and correcting those errors? I’m really at a loss of words right now. Your reasoning is completely baffling.19th century, Seventh Day Adventism
Do you know that the Septuagint and the Massoretic texts have different numbers when you sum their genealogies? By thousands of years different. Science can correct itself, but how can you correct two different Bibles?

I talk about that a lot. I think the 2000 year anniversary of the church is on Pentecost 2029. So we should buy a cake and celebrate. Or we could have a party on the beginning of Passover to watch the death asteroid and it's narrow miss of the earth. Lots of excitement that year. I think the comet is going to hit the earth in 2036. NASA just does not want people to panic.Yall should’ve brought a cake or something.
Moses in Psalm 90 verse 2 tells us they were everlasting days. Does your dictionary define the word everlasting as a 24 hour day? I heard about an endless summer but never an endless day.Like I've said from the beginning. The Bible teaches us that the Earth (and the whole Universe) was created in 6 days
