young earth creationism YEC

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear right from the start, unless YEC want to established themselves as the new Catholic church with Ken Ham as their Pope, take everything they say as just their opinions. I say this not to be derisive but as a statement of fact. Almost universally the recent YEC will claim they are the only ones who uphold the truth of the Bible and the sole people who knows what the Bible says especially in Genesis 1-11. They don’t even say they are interpreting Genesis. In their mind what they say is actually what the Bible said.

“What’s amusing is that some people think that it’s as if simply stating this obvious truth (that the Hebrew word used for day in Genesis 1 [Yom] can mean something other than a literal day) is some resounding rebuttal to the plain reading of the Genesis text (and all the other pertinent passages from the entire body of Scripture) that clearly teaches that God created in six literal days.”
