I do not subscribe to the young earth notion. But clearly it is a created universe by a timeless, incredibly powerful, nonspatial, personal ( to have decided to create the universe creatio ex nihlo), superintelligent, (to have ordered the universe of this complexity), immaterial (spirit). These characteristics are those which are proven by science (via induction). But one does not come to the Christian faith by sight. These characteristics are the same as those spoken of in the Bible regarding our theistic description of God...the transcendent agency who is what Leibnz described as the greatest conceivable Being. But, if one comes to Christ he must come as a little child...by faith in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, the death, burial, resurrection of the one and only Man, God who became a man to pay a price which I never could.
I can’t express how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness and honesty.
My greatest hurdle, after many years of exploration was that of the age of the earth.
I had always viewed the young earth creationists as a bit crazy.
Maybe, I’m crazy now.
I found Christ through the process of elimination.
And I was crazy then.
I can’t help but to use my God given talent to figure things out.
For myself.
