You may wish to read Jonathan Sarfati's book, Refuting Compromise, which is "A Biblical and Scientific Refutation of 'Progressive Creationism'(Billions of Years), As Popularized by Astronomer Hugh Ross".

Dr. Sarfati has a PH.D. in Chemistry and in my opinion, has thoroughly dispelled the myths perpetrated by Hugh Ross.

“Dr. Sarfati has a PH.D. in Chemistry and in my opinion, has thoroughly dispelled the myths perpetrated by Hugh Ross.”

I must admit that I am perplexed by young earth creationists. They seem to be willing to ignore basic evidence for the age of the universe based on the red shift of light from distant galaxies.

I can’t imagine what in the world is so important about the idea of literal 24-hour creation days. I just don’t get it. Hugh Ross has explained that the Hebrew word used in Genesis for “day” can also mean “era” or “epoch.”

What is truly sad is that the young-earth view is actually causing many scientists and other “rational” people to reject Christianity and the Bible over a silly translation error. What a pity.
