Please visit http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/about.asp for the case for Genesis being actual reliable history.

Think about it. Luke 3:38 talks about Adam being an actual person, being a DIRECT relation to God. He’s not a metaphor.

1 Cor 15:45 and 1 Timothy 2:14 and Jude 1:14 talk about an actual literal Adam, do you doubt this?

From the young-earth vs old earth page on that web site:

‘If you started with the Bible alone, without considering any outside influences whatsoever, could you ever come up with millions or billions of years of history for the Earth and universe?’ The answer from this scholar? ‘Absolutely not!’

Let’s be honest. Take out your Bible and look through it. You can’t find any hint at all for millions or billions of years.

This misses the point. As an old-world creationist I do not conclude that the world is millions of years old based on the Bible, but from outside of it. I also conclude that it is possible for people to build machines that fly, although the Bible did not tell me this either.

What I am looking for is a contradiction, not support. There is plenty of support for an old world in non-Biblical evidence.

In other words, they are admitting that they start outside the Bible to (re)interpret the Words of Scripture.

Everybody does this whether they admit it or not. Non-Biblical experience puts the Bible in context -- else it would not apply to our lives. Language itself is learned outside of the Bible, but is obviously a prerequisite to understanding it.
