Want to see a one hit K.O by evolution to young earth creationism? [Spirituality & Religion]

Look no farther than the way the fossil record is stratified.

It's absolutely incompatible with a young earth creation world view and i've yet to see any creationist adequately defend their position on this.

Young Earth creationism isn't even supported by the Bible, let alone the fossil record and I'm a creationist.

Is it not?

@Pikachu No. The age of the Earth is never discussed. They take the genealogy of Adam, and everyone else, to come to an age of the Earth. It's assumed from the text that the Earth is "young". But from the final day of creation to the fall of Adam and Eve is never discussed. It's assumed, I guess, they fall the next day.

There are SOOOOOO many problems with the idea of the God of the Bible having created 6,000 years ago that I can't believe any Christian is a young earth creationist. But that is just my opinion.

@Cmstars That is very interesting!
@Cmstars

Yeah i knew that people had reckoned the age of the earth based off genealogies but i never knew that it was not wholly supported by the text.

@Carazaa But Adam and Eve in your theory had to live for millions of years which is irrational.
Cmstars · 22-25, F
@Carazaa Do you think belief in God is irrational?
Cmstars · 22-25, F
@Carazaa I would answer this but I get the feeling whatever I say you'll conclude as irrational, so I don't see the point. lol
Carazaa · F
@CmstarsNo I think God is very rational, and he can create miracles, so trying to prove or disprove God is a little irrational because we really don't understand Him. But I respect your opinion. You don't have to prove anything to me ha ha. I respect that you are a creationist a lot! I am a Christian.

@Carazaa Well in that case, I'll share my view. haha. Adam and Eve don't age until after the fall since death for Humans have not entered the world through sin. So they weren't millions of years old. All that young earth creationists are dating is how long since the fall. That is it.

@Cmstars Yes I think that is a possibility., I never even considered that before. There is before mans fall, and after. Thank you!
