Actually if one believes in the gap theory of Gen 1-2 then it can explain the old universe and the new creation.

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.

Quoting from "Job: A Comedy of Justice" by Robert A. Heinlein (context: the main character is from an alternate history in which the USA is a Christian theocracy):

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.

(end quote)

Sound familiar?

The bible speaks of a time before of great kingdoms and such I believe it is in Jeremiah or Isiah.

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.

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.

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!
