Or perhaps it was simply you that was being disingenuous by implying creationists contribute nothing?
Creationists contribute nothing to the working body of knowledge for the science they rally against. Is that better?
But I am not a YEC, so all of those arguments are null and void. I don’t think they are correct either.
Cool.
Please, Darwin believed god created everything and then it proceeded by natural causes till the day he died.
Nope, not so. Despite an Orthodox belief and ardent Church-going up to and during his HMS Beagle voyage, his belief tapered off to agnosticism where he eventually never attended Church when his family went every Sunday, opting for a walk or other activity instead, and didn't pray, etc.

I could care less about your gripe with YEC, and would agree with you on most of them.
Your arguments against them don’t apply to me, so why try to argue against them with me?
Awesome! Like I said, that's my gripe and if you're not denying the well-evidenced science that demonstrates a 4.6 billion year old earth in a 13.8 billion year old universe, then they're not directed at you. it just seems some of your comments contradict others - like the earth isn't as old as it is, etc.
I need not shuffle anything.
I just need confirm my belief that the God who wrote the Bible, is the exact same God who also penned the earth.
then help me out here so I'm clear - do you take the "God written bible"'s order of events, or the "God penned earth (and universe)"'s evidence on what happened and when? For example:
God Written Bible's Genesis 1:
(1) a beginning;
(2) a primitive earth in darkness and enshrouded in heavy gases and water;
(3) light;
(4) an expanse or atmosphere;
(5) large areas of dry land;
(6) land plants;
(7) sun, moon, and stars discernible in the expanse, and seasons beginning;
(8) sea monsters and flying creatures;
(9) wild and tame beasts and mammals;
(10) man.
God Penned Earth (and Universe):
(1) a beginning;
(2) light;
(3) sun and stars;
(4) primitive earth, moon, and atmosphere;
(5) dry land;
(6) sea creatures;
(7) some land plants;
(8) land creatures and more plants and sea creatures;
(9) flying creatures (insects) and more plants and land and sea creatures;
(10) mammals, and more land and sea animals, insects, and plants;
(11) the first birds,
(12) fruiting plants (which is what Genesis talks about) and more land, sea, and flying creatures;
(13) man and more of the various animals and plants.
Surely, you can't believe both order of events, can you? Personally, I go with the latter, because if there is a God, then this is his handiwork and I trust the evidence it yields when we investigate it first-hand.
That there have been 6 creations and 5 destructions is not in doubt. Nor do I need to pretend “hayah” means anything other than its accepted concordance meaning like others on here do.
So I find it not contradictory at all that “the earth “became - hayah” desolate and waste, and darkness became upon the surface of the deep. So that it is not surprising the dinosaurs died out before the creation of man. Asteroid, comet, I don’t care, take your pick. But personally I don’t think it was either of those since dinosaurs ceased to exist long before the K-T boundary. Comets or asteroids are just the standard fairy tale told to children.
Most YEC conveniently forget the Bible was simply written about man, from page 1 to its last page. His creation, fall and need for redemption is its entire purpose.
Again, help me out here - are Adam and Eve actual people who lived at the same time from which all human descendants are derived? Is the Flood of Noah a real event that inundated the entire planet?
Want to understand all of creation and not just man? Then why would anyone ignore the Works of God which is the book of creation? Either we believe the same God wrote both and thereby understand it is through understanding the things made is His Glory revealed.
Romans 1:20
The only thing I disagree with about age is your belief you can calculate any age accurately without taking time dilation into account in a universe increasing in acceleration since the beginning.....
Then you still don't understand Physics and Cosmology. Have you spoken to anyone who has studied the subject matter properly? because you haven't even scratched the surface.
that and the fact evolution is a sham.....
Yet it's the most well-established theory in all of science, which yields useful and practical results and solutions every day in every way. Go figure...
