Many “creationists” are not “young earth” ones.
I have no idea of the proportions.
But there are many in related geology/biology professions who are not evolutionists but are not young earth believers.
Evos love to pretend that all people who are believe “God did it” are young earthers. Makes them sleep easier at night.
“..Makes them sleep easier at night....”
whether it’s 6,000 or 600,000 years old, that is unacceptable to evolutionist of any stripe.
they need time to explain nature without a Creator......
There isn’t (mathematically) enough time!!!
