I guess he’s never heard of western Austrailia either. Some of the oldest dirt on the planet and flat as hell.
These YEC folks mean well, but really they ought to at least keep up with what conventional secular science is claiming before piping up about how they disagree. God is not a dunce!
I am a definite creationist and lean towards being an old-earth creationist. Hugh Ross (www.reasons.org) does a pretty good job of expounding many OEC tenets. My support for same has the great caveat that we have some hints in the biblical narrative about a possible change in METAPHYSICAL regime between the creation and now. That, of course, could render ALL physical science problematic when dealing with eras as far back as the creation times. However I stick my neck out for the usefulness of OEC because of Romans 1:20. To a perfectly secular scientist the creation should still be a witness of God’s peculiarly miraculous work. And Ross and other OEC advocates have done a good, if not perfect, job of showing how it is.
