Old-Earth Creationism
by Henry Morris, Ph.D.
Many evangelical leaders today, unfortunately, have capitulated to the evolutionary timescale of modern unbelieving geologists and astronomers. They feel that they must somehow reinterpret the Genesis record of creation to allow for billions of prehistoric years, which the evolutionists must have in order to make cosmic evolution and biological evolution seem feasible. This compromise is necessary, they say, in order to win scientists and other intellectuals to the Lord...

Ping!
Thanks for the ping!
Old Earth, or old universe is an abuse of physics and cosmology.
If the Universe expanded, then time expanded too!
Its dishonest to pretend not to understand this.
People would be wise not to question the literal interpretation of our Bible.If its in the Bible, its the Word of God
That is the way it Creation should be viewed.
Another matter was a pet project of my own: the frustrating of astronomers. Few laymen realize what mischief astronomers are up to. I first noticed it when I was still in engineering school and took a course in descriptive astronomy under the requirements for breadth in each student's program. Give an astronomer a bigger telescope and turn him loose, leave him unsupervised, and the first thing he does is to come down with pestiferous, half-baked guesses denying the ancient truths of Genesis.
There is only one way to deal with this sort of nonsense: Hit them in the pocketbook! Redefine 'educational' to exclude those colossal white elephants, astronomical observatories. Make the Naval Observatory the only one tax free, reduce its staff, and limit their activity to matters clearly related to navigation. (Some of the most blasphemous and subversive theories have come from tenured civil servants there who don't have enough legitimate Work to keep them busy.)
Self-styled 'scientists' are usually up to no good, but astronomers are the worst of the lot.

Sound familiar?
Amen to that! If the Lord wanted us to know more or how, He would have explained it in His Word!
If any moron can get a PhD, that certainly explains the subjective mess that is evolutionary biology! Of course, Darwin couldn’t even get a PhD, as the best he could manage was to drop out of medical school (although he did manage to get a degree in religion), went on to become an amateur naturalist, and then proceeded to plagiarize natural selection from a creation scientist. By my count, that makes Darwood at least a triple moron.
Amen to that!
Jer 1:4
Go on record...how old is the Earth??

LOL!
I always thought maybe us mortals are not capable of explaining His Word or His Design, and thats why completely discredited “theories” like evolution popped up. It gives comfort to those who think they know and can explain everything, which the evolutionists cant.
1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
==Go on record...how old is the Earth??
The Earth is about 6 thousand years old, distant galaxies are up to billions of years old, and yet they all owe their existence to the exact same creation week. Our God is truly and awesome God!
