Sal Cordova and Aging Galaxies

I certainly respect the implications. The YEC/YCCs like myself do not have a good empirical nor theoretical case. We only hold to it by faith and a few anomalies. That’s why I found this account by a High Schooler being told Old Earth was of the devil (which started this discussion)

Youth Pastor tells HS Student Old Earth views are of the Devil, even though most if not all YEC/YCC cosmologies are wrong!

9 of 10, if not 10 YCC/YEC cosmology models that have been floating around are wrong, yet I learned a youth pastor recently told a 15-year-old Christian student that Old Earth views are of the Devil! The young man relates the account in the video linked below. I’ve followed the YEC/YCC cosmologies laid out by various YECs. There are about 10 of them and counting. As a matter of principle, 9 of the 10 must be wrong as a matter of principle since they all can’t be right! Maybe all 10 that are on the table are dead wrong. Despite this (I say this as a card-carrying YEC/YCC) it was deeply troubling to hear the account given by a high school student of his pastor telling him belief in an Old Earth is like a Satanic cult. I was at ICC 2018, the International Conference on Creationism that meets about every 5 years. ICC was organized by Paul Nelson’s dad, Dave Nelson, who is the son of theologian Byron Nelson. Byron Nelson himself suggested humanity could even be 100,000 years old! Over t…

Very troubling.

In contrast, I do not think abiogenesis theory is well-supported at all.
