I get asked alot about my young earth convictions. I admit that in the past I was over bearing on this subject. God has mellowed me in this area. I’ve decided to use the blog to post my complete thought on the subject, this way I can cover most the major points that convinced me to Take Gods word on face value. This may take a few blogs to cover all the angles.
The first point is simple, we should give God’s word first place in our world view. The world applauds people who say they are seeking the truth, but as soon as they say, they have found it! The world quickly condemns them, and calls them intolerant. If you have discovered the truth, then anything that doesn’t fit into the truth must be cast out. Sounds simple, but we have emotional attachments to our ideas, and lets not forget pride. If we claim to believe the word of God to be inerrant, then we must view the world with the presupposition told us in the bible.
The world is deceived to think that they do not have presuppositions. they say that they follow the evidence. That is simply not true. Take a look at the planet Mercury for an example, Mercury still has a magnetic field, there must be fluid motions within a planet’s core. Therefore, the core itself must be molten. But as one evolutionist says, ‘Mercury is so small that the general opinion is that the planet [i.e. its core] should have frozen solid aeons ago’. Therefore, the core cannot be molten, and so evolutionary theories would have to conclude that Mercury cannot have a magnetic field. But it does! So do they then conclude that the planet Mercury most be younger? No they speculate that perhaps Mercury’s core isn’t iron (which would have ‘frozen solid eons ago’), but iron sulfide instead (which wouldn’t’ necessarily have solidified over these supposed eons). In light of evidents that says that Mercury must be much younger, do they abandon their presupposition? NO they hang on to it no matter how many theories they have to add to their theories, because they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness. Take a look at how poorly these so call facts hold up in time, you’ll notice that evolutionist have adjusted or rejected most of what they have believed just 30 short years ago. So why should bible believing people compromise God’s word for facts that don’t even last 30 years?
The evolutionists presupposition makes them reject the evidence that they claim molds their opinion. Mercury’s magnetic field is just one of thousands of facts that point to a young earth. Why haven’t you heard of these facts? Because creationist have little or no money to do the research, no government grants, No school budget, and a hostile media that won’t report anything from the young earth perspective.
So keep in mind that both young earth and old earth world views have presuppositions, as a believer I have no problem admitting my bias, after all I live by faith, so I trust what the bible says.

So if the Bible says God created the world in 6 days, and its reasonable to read the text as literal, I believe what it says. Trying to please the world by compromising the word of God is just not an option, if we start to say that the bible doesn’t mean what it says then will end up debating everything, and reduce the bible to just another option.
