Young-Earth Creationism

• Young-Earth Creationism
  • Young-earth Creationism is a world-view based on the following concepts
    • God exists.
    • The universe was created about 10,000 years ago (by God).
      • This time-frame is from the view-point of an earth-based clock.
    • The earth was created about 10,000 years ago (by God).
    • God created the universe, and the earth, and all of the Kinds of living creatures, in 6 literal 24-hour days.
      • This occured about 10,000 years ago.
      • This time-frame is from the view-point of an earth-based clock.
    • Micro-evolution is a Fact.
      • Micro-evolution is adaptation of creatures to their environment.
      • Such adaptation can result in low-level speciation.
      • E.g., all of dog-kind (wolves, coyotes, foxes, dogs) speciated from one created ancestoral-kind.
    • Naturalistic (atheistic) Mega-evolution is not a Fact
      • but rather is an atheist-faith-based Naturalistic (atheistic) Theory.
      • The statement is not meant to be derogatory in any sense.
    • Mega-evolution required intelligent design by God.
      • Mega-evolution, as defined here, involves formation of completely new organs and completely new body-plans.
        • We are intentionally not using the term Macro-Evolution because the term has become confused with low-level speciation.
        • Low-level speciation is not the same as formation of completly new body-plans and/or formation of completely new organs.
      • God provided the information and immediate-process needed for Creation of First Life.
      • God provided the information and immediate-process needed for creation of the various completly-new body-plans and completely-new organs of creatures.
    • Regarding Genomic Information Content:
      • Micro-evolution, in general, involves a drop in genomic information-content (or a more-or-less constant level in information-content).
      • Mega-evolution requires an increase in genomic information content.

• Disclosure
  • I am not a young-earth creationist (YEC).
    • However, I love my YEC brothers and sisters and have done my best to provide a fair representation of Young-Earth Creationism in the text above.
    • Please note that while many committed Christians are Young-Earth Creationists, not all committed Christians are Young-Earth Creationists.

• Does God exist?
  • Any form of Creationism is dependent on the concept that God exists.
