I do believe in a 7 day creation, for I believe God is powerful enough to do create the heavens and earth in 7 days, and I see no reason for Him to take longer. It's just I'm not expert enough to be certain that that is the only way the scripture can be interpreted.

On the other hand, I don't want to make the same mistake that the Catholics did with Gallileo and hang an argument on one word. A word that turned out to be badly translated.

However, having said that, I don't think the scientists have done a very good job of making their case. They do not seem to have been very open minded in considering the possibilities and have in fact seem very antagonistic to the account recorded in scripture. There is far too much cirular reasoning for my taste.

Fortunately more and more scientists are starting to question some of the assumptions that have been made in the scientific community.

Read Genesis again, then, for it says the ENTIRE EARTH, the WHOLE EARTH, not just a local flood, that is the key here.

There may be interesting stuff about sediments proving Noah's flood, but to localize it is dead wrong. Else, there is no reason for you and me to see a rainbow and believe in God's promise!
