Creation Science (Old Earth version)
Old Earth accepts the existence of an “old earth,” such that an ancient earth is accepted, but not evolution itself. It reads the Genesis not in a total literal manner—It does not believe that God created the earth in six days, but does not read the Bible in a metaphorical manner, like the Theistic Evolutionists do.
Day-Age Theory of Old Earth Creationism: Quote: 2 Peter 3:8: “One day with the Lord is as a thousand years” Some Old Earth Creationists believe that the “days”, as mentioned in the Bible might represent a millennia, or more. They argue that nothing in the text has specified the exact length of a “day”. To strengthen their point, they refer to the quote above to state that a “day” might not mean literally a day, but much longer.
Gap Theory of Old Earth Creationism
Other Old Earth Creationists believe that a “day” mentioned in the bible means literally a day, not any longer or shorter. Long gaps existed in between those days. It interprets the Bible without having to stretch the meanings of the words or develop metaphorical interpretations. This view was popularized by the famous Scofield Reference Bible, first published in 1909 and still in print today.
Response from the Scientific Community:
Scientific explanations cannot be explained by religion. Any explanation in relation to religion is not accepted by the Scientific Community. Science can tolerate being unsure about some things. But science cannot entertain the notion that there are phenomena in the everyday natural world that require supernatural intervention. That requirement would emasculate science. Darwinism responds to this challenge with scientific excommunication — "It's not science."
