You clearly don’t care to research this issue. I gave you a link in my last comment to a fascinating article that explores creationism from a scientific perspective. It argues neither “fixity of species” nor “young age of the Earth.” It really does seem that you’ve gotten your ideas about creationism from grade school and/or the MSM, rather than from ... creationists.
Yes, Scripture is true. When it speaks of history, it is historically true. When it speaks poetically, then it should be interpreted that way. To think otherwise is to have a low estimation of God’s Word.
Oh, and you can cut the insinuation that I’m a Geocentrist Luddite. That’s just juvenile, and neither contributes to the conversation nor reflects well on your presumed faith in Christ.
I get an earful of creationism right here on FR almost daily.
And I don't need to go to creationist sources to learn about science.
Your source was mindless drivel that couldn't differentiate the theory of evolution of species from the hypothetical abiogenesis of life; RIGHT FROM THE FIRST PARAGRAPH.
How does my pointing out that there are Geocentrist FReepers who say things like ‘Of course I am a Geocentrist, all Bible-believeing Christians are Geocentrists’ reflect upon my faith in Christ?
It instead illustrated my point; once you give up on reason in favor of your own supposed infallibility in scriptural interpretation; you may as well go whole hog and be a Geocentrist. You know what YEC creationists say about your faith in the word of God? The same thing you are saying about mine.
Piety is not measured on a sliding scale of how outlandishly you interpret the Bible. Geocentrists are not more devout and pious or better Christians than those that accept that the Earth is in orbit around the Sun. YEC’s are not more devout or more Christian than OEC’s. Those that think all species were created in their present form and somehow cannot change past non-defined boundaries are not more devout or pious or better Christians than those that accept the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.
