Well, I happen to believe that the universe is approximately 6,000 years old from the space/time coordinate of inception and 15 billion years old (more or less) from our space/time coordinates. I base this on the Word and the inflationary model. Freeper Views on Origins

Likewise, I believe there was indeed a worldwide flood, but that it was targeted to the patches of civilization where Adamic man would have lived. I base this on the Word and archeological evidence. Freeper Views on Origins - Patriarchs

In other words, I can have a "young earth" point of view, as a Fundamentalist Christian - and at the same time embrace science and have a wonderful discussion on the science threads!

Isn't there a Hebrew scholar who explains this idea further? A-G, I think you gave the link over a year ago.

Ahh, but you see Alamo Girl, there is a difference in how you see things and how these creationists view them.

Your view takes the scientific evidence, then uses science again to try and get the proper answer.

Their view IGNORES the science altogether and says it's wrong.

The space time thing I find fascinating, I don't necassarily believe it, but it makes sense, in a scientific way.

Also, your view of the flood is ALSO based on scientific evidence, and does NOT ignore it.

You have come up with a beautifully consistent and scientific view, that backs up your faith that the creation and flood stories are consistent and true.

That is the difference, you have taken science, brought it into your belief structure and have come up with something that is consistent, whereas these other creationists want to throw the science away because it just doesn't compute for them.

This is another reason why I respect you so much. You learn as much as you can and come up with consistent answers to answer your questions, taking the 2 and creating 1 very credible whole.

I have NO argument with your views at all, I find them beautifully consistent with both your religion and the scientific evidence.

I'm unfamiliar with this idea. I'll have to read up on it. I think many evos would agree with you on the flood. There is evidence of a flood that existed throughout the populated portion of the globe... just not world wide.
