Most scientists laugh most at the notion of a world only a few thousand years old. Since they observed evolution on a daily basis, denial of evolution is pretty much like denial of gravity in their eyes.

Since there are creationists who do admit that the Earth is very old, I would suppose they react most strongly against the evidence for common descent.

What AIG calls "loss of Biblical Authority" is really "loss of Ken Ham credibility." Most of the world's Christians don't accept Ham's new doctrine, which was invented by the Seventh-Day adventists in the 20th century.

great article

"All of the compromised positions on Genesis (the gap theory, framework hypothesis, theistic evolution, day-age theory, progressive creation, etc.) have one thing in common—they attempt to fit millions of years of history into Genesis 1. The major reason so many pastors, Christian academics, and Christians do not believe in six literal (24-hour) days of creation is ultimately their desire to account for the supposed billions of years.

Such compromise places mankind’s fallible dating methods—his beliefs about the past—in authority over God’s Word. "

Since the Bible doesn't say how old the Earth is, and since Romans 1:20 tells us that creation itself speaks to us of God and his ways, why not just accept the evidence for what it is?

great points - thanks AIG

"Secularists must cling to long ages in order to explain life without a Creator.

Belief in an old earth was born out of naturalism, as documented by the research of Terry Mortenson.1 The belief in billions of years was originally postulated by materialists, atheists, and deists in an attempt to explain the geological record by natural processes, rather than by a global Flood as revealed in the Bible."

Secularists must cling to long ages in order to explain life without a Creator.

The Big Bang was first proposed by a physicist who was a Catholic priest, and it was most notably opposed by an atheist, who objected to the unspoken implication that the universe had a beginning. Because that suggests a Creator.

Scientific evidence for long ages was first uncovered and discussed by scientists who were Christians and formerly believed in a relatively young Earth.
