Wow, how many pages ago did this thread turn from a debate to an insult contest?
Both are theories, the basis of one is observations accumulated by man, and the basis of the other is faith in God and in His Word that he gave to us!
I personally am a YEC and I'm confident in my beliefs, however I'm not going to waste the next month of my life arguing with people who haven't had it revealed to them. (No offense Josh, I agree with you and admire your courage for standing up against a barrage of insults -- not an argument of the world's formation)
I find it amusing that 10 years from now evolution scientists will consider most of what they believe today regarding this issue to be false. And YEC will rework their theories b/c they humbly know that they don't have all the answers, the only reliable source of knowledge comes from God's unchanging Word.
So as a closing comment, I don't accuse nonchristians for rejecting God's truth on the issue, but in regards to old earth/evolutionist christians: How do you not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible that says the world was created in 6 days and that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old (according to the lineage from Adam to Jesus recorded in scripture)? If the Bible cannot be trusted as being foolproof, then surely Christ did not rise from the dead!! There is no possible scientific explanation for someone being dead for three days and then coming back to life. If you deny the resurrection of Christ, then are you a christian?
