You can still believe in an Intelligent Designer if you want to without resorting to Answers In Genesis. From Old Earth Ministries -
Old Earth Belief
Quote:Let's start with a basic explanation of old earth theology. There are several major positions one can take with regards to belief in an old earth and universe. Using a simplistic view of old earth creationist beliefs, they can basically be split into two groups, those who hold to a Day-Age Interpretation, and those who believe in the Gap Theory.
Some people mix and match these theories. For instance, a Gap Theory believer may believe in evolution during the billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
In an informal poll conducted on this website, with over 1,100 respondents who believe in an old earth, 45 percent are Progressive Creationists, 32 percent are Theistic Evolutionists, 10 percent believe in the Gap Theory, and the rest are old earth, but undecided as to which position to believe in.
This means that the majority of Christians, who all believe that God did it one way or another, think that Ken Ham and other Young Earth creationists are talking garbage.

You're using a Young Earth Creation website for your sources. Everything on that website is written from the belief that the universe is only 6,000 years old. This gives the impression that you're trying to promote Young Earth Creation.

You'll never convince anyone by using a site which is about how God didn't do it, all supposing that he did it at all, of course.

Asked who? Jesus or any rabbi who happened to be passing?
