Thank you for your cooperation.

My suggestion for you is to go over to forums such as Newsmax where there a lot more rightwing nuts hangout. There are only a few Creationists here, Lincoln and Monkspider being two.

Igore Redfern's ramblings.

The only young-earth creationist I've ever seen on this site was Cloud9, that font of stability and rationality.

Lincoln is also a YEC. Monkspider is more of an OEC IIRC.

[Boris Godunov]

Hmm, Lincoln's most recent posts in the athiesm thread seemed to suggest he doesn't view the Old Testament as totally literal (his "spirit" comment).

newsmax forum has been dead for ages btw...

I'm not a YEC, but I know several. I think Red answered the standard answers. I'm not sure about the ice age question. I'll find out on Sunday. What stunned me recently was finding out how prevalent the idea of the dinosaurs being on the ark is. The other stunning belief common to YEC is that prior to the flood, all creatures, including man, lions, tigers, T-Rex were vegetarian.

Jehovahs Witnesses believe a literal Bible but take the six days as being six creation periods of undefined length. The still believe the vegetarian thing though. It amazes me how many different interpretations there are of the same book by people who all claim it to be infallible.

There have been many "ice ages". It is caused by the general ebb and flow of sea lanes that shift how much warm air, and thus humidity, is blown into the artic circle causeing less or more ice to generate. Since the breaking of the continents there have been dozens of ice ages lasting very long times. The forming and melting of these ice formations naturally cause the level of the oceans to rise and fall and could have, thus, contributed to "the flood".

The Big Chill

And yes, it is what I believe.

1. Always existed... matter in our region of the universe, I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe around 20 billion years old. I don't believe the entire universe was created by a Big Bang, but rather localized big bangs once super-black holes reach some sort of critical mass.

2. Around 4-5 billion

3. Again, I forget, around 2 billion years I think

4. Many floods. The Noah flood probably occurred near the end of the last Ice Age. IIRC, I saw some sort of theory that the Mediterranean was once much smaller, but an influx of water from the Gibralter area caused a major flood. I'm not sure though.

5. Lots of Ice Ages, cyclical phenomenon.

I tend to believe that the Universe has always existed. The idea of a sentient creator just doesn't make sense. Nobody knows what life is, what causes it, or what happens when we die. I don't think our souls are eternal. There's a beginning to life, and an end.
