Welcome back to the Confessions of a Young Earth Creationist (YEC). We’ve looked into the Bible and then into the stars, and now we’re going to take a look at the ground beneath
our own feet. When trying to prove that the earth is very, very old, many people will point into the dirt and call upon the science of Geology to prove Deep Time. In the coming weeks, I shall call upon the science of Geology to prove that the Earth is in fact much younger than she looks. Maybe she was created 6,000 years ago by God? Maybe it’s Maybelline… Continue reading

The Distance to the Stars!- Confessions of a YEC part 18
It is true. I confess! I believe the bible when it says God created the heavens and the earth within a single week, about 6,000 years ago. I know it sounds crazy to all of the kids raised on PBS, Discovery Channel and public school, but I know I can defend my position with the Bible and Science! So far I have shown why God/Jesus is a Young Earth Creationist, why the Bible says this clearly several times, and how the alternative theory of the Big Bang fails to provide a plausible alternative. I shall not be absolved of my choice to believe the Bible, and if you follow me down the yellow brick road of science, you may too someday need to confess that you believe it too.
Confession is good for the soul. So is SCIENCE, Bro!
The best argument the non-young earth creationists or Big Bangers have against the youth of the cosmos is a very simple math problem. If light travels a light year in a year, then we should not be able to see stars which are more than six thousand light years away if God made all the stars six thousand years ago. But we CAN see stars which are much further away, and thus, the stars came into being a LONG LONG LONG SUPER DUPER LONG STUPID LONG time ago. Continue reading

The Not So Smoking Gun of the Big Bang- Confessions of a YEC part 17
Now let’s take a look into the “smoking gun” of the Big Bang: The Cosmic Background Radiation. Discovered by accident in 1964, it’s basically a faint glow of heat, everywhere we look in the night sky. It’s Cosmic, it lurks in the background, and like all mutant superheros, it’s powered by radiation. Cosmic. Background. Radiation.
This is also not a smoking gun.
THAT is how you name science stuff! It sounds like the title of a Marvel comic series where in the whole UNIVERSE is threatened! It even starts with the word COSMIC. That’s BIGGER than “Big,” even without a sound effect after it.
“Big Bang.” Pttthhhh!
Anyhoo, to see why the smoking gun isn’t the airtight case it gets peddled as, all you need is a little science history. Continue reading
Red Shift, Escape, Delete: Science- Confessions of a YEC part 16
Last time, we took a look at the Data which is presented as observable evidence for the Big Bang (AKA: The Horrendous Space Kablooie). What about it then? Does the data point to a BIG BANG?
Would you be terribly surprised if I said I don’t think so?

Big Bang, Little Science- Confessions of a YEC part 15
The Big Bang model is the popular, atheistic alternative to the Biblical account of Creation. The Bible tells us that God created all of time, space, matter, and energy. Naturally atheists, having rejected God, need a good replacement for Him to explain the universe, so they came up with nothing.
Literally nothing.
But not inert and inactive nothing! According to the Big Bang model, Nothing EXPLODED!
BANG!
And that’s where the universe came from.
Who’s looking stupid now, Christians?
Big Bang, BIG FAIL- Confessions of a YEC part 14
The modern secular alternative to the Genesis account of Creation is the Big Bang. The Big bang is a very simple story with a very stupid name.
“The Big Bang?” REALLY? We couldn’t find anything cool in Latin, or somebody’s last name? I mean, come on people! Eight MILLION TONS of PhD’s working on this thing around the clock for fifty years and the best we can come up with is a name reminiscent of a large yellow bird created to teach the alphabet to Preschoolers?
It’s a bird… and it’s BIG… But what do we CALL it?
A Giraffe By Any Other Name… Confessions of a YEC Part 13
Hello, friends! We’re still taking a good long look into why I am a Young Earth Creationist, and we’ve reached the point where we’re looking into the text of Genesis to see what the Bible says. This is an unpopular technique these days. Most people would prefer to talk about the Bible without actually seeing what it says, but I’m a bit of a traditionalist that way. Call me old fashioned, just don’t call me late for dinner! [rim-shot]
We’re looking at objections to a literal six day interpretation of the six days of Genesis chapter one, and today’s objection comes from Genesis chapter two. Continue reading
On Planting a Field of Giraffes- Confessions of a YEC Part 12
The next objections to taking Genesis chapter one at its word come from events which are supposed to take much longer than a single day, and thus, it is argued, those days cannot be literal days: The third day, and the sixth day. Like the previous objection to day one, there are some unspoken assumptions about limitations God seem to have in the Old Earth Creation (OEC) model. Continue reading
When was the First Sunny Day?- Confessions of a YEC Part 11
Most recently I explained the various reasons why the days of Creation in Genesis 1 MUST be interpreted as normal, 24 hour, calendar days. But there are a couple of objections 
brought up by The Old Earth Creationist (OEC) model which are worth noting, mainly because they are so inadvertently funny.
Like Chickens! They don’t MEAN to be funny, but I don’t care who you are, chickens are FUNNY!
Are we still in the 7th day?- Confessions of a YEC part 10
The final argument from scripture which is usually associated with this attempt to lengthen the six creation days comes from the seventh day. First, many will try and argue that Hebrews 4 tells us that the Seventh day is STILL GOING ON, and thus, those Creation says CAN’T be normal days. Once again, why these people feel they can define a Hebrew word in the Old Testament with a Greek passage in the New Testament is beyond me. Not only that, but Hebrews 4 does not say that the Seventh day of Creation is still going on. Go read it. Anyone can see that Genesis 1 and Exodus 20 call the Creation week, six days. But then people will choose to ignore that fact and try to read into Hebrews 4 that the Seventh day is still going on, and thus the Creation days were not normal days?
This is my argument kids. Just say NO to drugs.
