I believe in a young earth creation.
Aside from the Bible, my reason is, the conditions on earth weren't always the same as they are today (due in large part to the catastrophic nature of the global flood and the powerful mechanisms God used to cause it), and the earth was created mature with mature plants and animals, giving it the illusion of age.

Definately number 2. When god says 6 days he means 6 days....There is no other view than 2 that fully fits the Bible's plan of salvation, the fall, etc.
If it isn't believed, then many questions come up. Like, why have hope for a better life when there has always been death on destruction? Why do we need a Savior if we all aren't all desendants of Adam and thus under the curse of Adam that all are sinners? And there's so many more.
When I said death, I mean that there was no physical death until the fall and there was no sin on earth either. There should not be death and suffering before the fall (which is after Man was created) and Evolution says that there has always been death and destruction.[Athlon: "death" is also a concept that applies to us spiritually. When we are told that we get "eternal life", I think it's pretty clear that this doesn't mean we never physically die. Why would we need a savior? Because we are sinful! I don't really know exactly what the story of the "curse" means - but I'm quite sure that I can believe in the observable reality that we *are* sinners, and I don't need to know everything.
But in millions of years. Again, read the post I put in Youth Forum about the problems with Evolution+Christianity. And I can never reinforce enough, science needs to be made to fit the bible, not the bible to fit science.Think about this - in Genesis, God is said to have brought forth all nature in various stages, and then what came after all the other lifeforms? Man! That's just what scientists say happened, except that many don't believe there was an intelligence supervising this process.

Since Athlon has apparently decided not to respond, this question is for anyone: Why do you think there could not have been any physical death of any plant or animal on our planet prior to the sins of Adam and Eve?
Thank you.
