If you believe in a universal flood, and the impact that the waters from above and below caused, you can see that what 'scientists' claim was caused by billions of years of evolution, could indeed have occurred in a 40 day flood. The eruption of Mt. St. Helen's is evidence of that. What occurred there in a few hours from the water and lava flow duplicates the geologic strata of the Grand Canyon......which 'scientists' claim took millions of years to form (and although credible scientists know that it is impossible to have happened, our 'educational' institutions still proclaim that erosion caused it to form).
The point is, if you believe in an Omnipotent God, creation in 6 days would not have been difficult. It is perfectly reasonable then, (and not the thought of 'wackos') to believe in a young earth, especially when you know that the so-called dating methods of scientists are filled with error and assumption. (It also is possible to believe that the Creation story is allegorical, and the earth is indeed older than the chronological years listed in Scripture).
However, you have to have a whole lot of faith to believe the ridiculous claims of evolutionists. I prefer to have faith in the Creator, and the truth of HIS word.
I thought it was created in 4000 BC, which would make the earth only six thousand years old. Explain the discrepency. Or do you not take the Bible literally?

No, not really. There is no evidence whatsoever for a global flood, and all evidence you would expect to find is noticeably absent. Just as one example (and I'd be happy to post many more), Greenland ice cores go back more than 40,000 years. How come there isn't any evidence of the sediment, salinity change, etc. that you'd expect to find after a flood?
It is perfectly reasonable then
Don't worry. Nothing you have posted has been tarnished by reason.

Care to back up any of your claims? Or should I just take them on faith? (snicker)
Sorry. I think is meant to be used to know God. It's written in parables so that only the people He wants to understand will understand. He left the scientific discoveries up to us. I don't think it was His intention to write the bible as a scientific encyclopedia, it would've digressed from the points He was trying to make. The ancients would've got caught up in all of the science of it and lost the wisdom He wanted His people to know. Someone like Solomon who had wisdom from God can decifer the science out of it, and Solomon became rich because of it, but it's mostly meant to draw His people.

Neither would creation by evolution with intermittent divine intervention.

Like I said, I believe that setting he conditions for evolution to take it's course to today takes more genius than to just snap all the animals into being at once.
