I'm a YEC. Challenge me.

[ThomM]

I am a Young Earth Creationist on a quest: I am sincerely interested in reading EVERY argument against YEC.

It caused me to want to search out and read arguments AGAINST creation. And the more I read them, the more convinced I became: the creation model is actually very logically solid.

First - if YOU were actually interested in EVERY argument against YEC - you would not believe in YEC - there is a mountain of proof that YEC is not true and there is not a single Article published in a peer reviewed scientific journal that supports an earth that is only about 6000 years old - NONE at all. There is NO basis for saying YEC is logically sound - because it is not.

Virtually all YEC arguments require the existence of a god - no one has EVER provided proof of the existence of one - in any peer reviewed scientific journal article as well.

WE have proof that the earth is billions of years old - and that in order for the Solar system to form - the SUN had to exist BEFORE the earth did. That part of genesis - that the earth came first - cannot be true at all. As far as age - we can count the ANNUAL layers of ice at the poles to determine that the earth must be several hundred thousand years old at least - and there are several trees on earth on which the annual rings can be counted to show they are over 10,000 years old - so the YEC argument is WRONG based on direct countable proof. And I have not even considered carbon dating - which PROVES that YEC is not true

More important - it is clear from geological studies that there NEVER was a time when ALL of the species of animals on earth existed at the same time. It just never happened.
