I'll watch this one too. I've never seen the young-earth types in action on one of these threads before. I'm guessing that their position is that the earth is only about 6000 years old, give or take a millenia. The ones who so vehemently defend that if it's not in the Bible, it didn't happen have always intrigued me. I'm by no means an atheist, but I'm also under no impression that God was obligated to tell us everything about the universe when the Bible was written.

I believe the biblical account of Creation. And I would reject evolution regardless of what the Bible says, on scientific grounds alone. But the Bible nowhere even attempts to say how old the earth is. I don't hold to the day-age theory that some do concerning the days of creation. But I'm not referring to that. I'm talking about when God created the matter and energy that make up the universe.
