I am a young-earth creationist...and not at all a fan of Hugh Ross. Over and over again his theories have been challenged...by creationists. Over and over again the flaws in his theories have been pointed out to him...by creationists. And, despite the glaring weaknesses in his theories, he ignores evidence disproving his theories.

He opposes the idea that Adam and Eve were the first humans.
He denies death entered with the Fall.
He denies a universal Flood.

He has compromised his faith, and his science...and is misleading his many followers. It is really sad.

The so called "flaws" have been either misunderstandings, misinterpretations or outright fabrications. I see many young-earthers claim he believes in evolution. Obviously they have never read his books, books that provided evidence for design and against evolution long before it became popular. In fact, that's what he has always focused on. YECs picked the fight about age of Earth.

He opposes the idea that Adam and Eve were the first humans.

Blantantly untrue. In fact he cowrote an entire book to the contrary named Who was Adam?

He denies death entered with the Fall.

So do many esteemed theologians. "No Death Before Adam" is largely held in young-earth circles and is very poor theology. See Peril in Paradise: Theology, Science, and the Age of the Earth

He denies a universal Flood.

Blantantly unture. He believes in an universal, local flood, as do many theologians. Again, he addresses that in great detail in The Genesis Question

The only people compromising faith, science and followers are those who have continuously passed on the blantant untruths created by certain YECs. That's really sad.
