If I look on christian forums, I get the idea that there are not many christians who believe young earth creationism. I don't think it matters much. Derek Prince was a great Bible teacher. He believed GAP theory, that it's old and dinosaurs are billions of years old and 6000 year ago after a flood God recreated it. I used to believe that too. I spoke about it with my brother.
He said: They think I'm nuts, but I believe it's 6000 years old. Come on. No way. No it's old. It was a recreation. And then they found soft tissue in a dinosaur. Yes it's millions or billions of years old, but it's because of the permafrost. Yeah right. Go fool your mother. Not me. That's when I stopped believing it. Job describes dinosaurs in the Bible.
I studied Physical Geography for a year and Landscape architecture for a year. I just believed what they said. Mesozoicum etc, time periods. It was just: The oldest earth layer was deposited first and has fossils in it that are just 1 cell or something and that took billions of years and then the next layer was deposited with more complicated fossils and so on.
Okay. I was 19. Why should I doubt these intelligent people who wrote the books and educated me? It's not what the Bible says, but I thought: Well then God just said days but meant 6 times billions of years or something. Who cares.
But now I think these creation science videos are fascinating. They explain stuff that can't be explained with the evolution model, but can be with the flood model. A guy said: We were taught it took millions of years, but with mount St Helen I saw that it was formed very quick.
And the one who came up with plate tectonics, Africa and America drifting apart, first Pangea, he believed the flood of Noah and said it happened fast, but regular scientist didn't believe him and later they did, but said it went slow. They just look at how it is now and then assume it always went that slow. They just leave out the flood. With a world wide flood the lightest 1 cell organisms just go to the bottom first.
