e.g. the claim that animals couldn't be found in the fossil records before men, because there was no death before sin. Read "Romans 5:12", "Romans 4:13" and "I Corinthians 15:22". It is obvious to me that it is not referring to animals, otherwise it just sounds silly. There's other claims that I felt they've also falsified. I find it hard to believe the 6 days of creation as 6 man days and not 6 God days. I've heard all the creation arguments for why it must be taken literally but to me it makes no sense, it doesn't seem to work, unless you take it as 6 ages the Bible doesn't contradict itself.
I think you partially erected a strawman, as I don’t think YEC Christians including myself base the belief of sin = death merely on the verses you cited. When God finished after 6 days, he declared everything was very good (Gen 1:31). The actual Hebrew word used is perfection. What it boils down to is your statement that I find it hard to believe the 6 days of creation as 6 man days and not 6 God days. Do you find this hard to believe because of what modern day scientists say, or because of some other reason? I strongly suspect, correct me if I’m wrong, that it’s the former (especially since you later equated 6 Ages to congruency with the big bang). If the later, then how do 6 literal days in Genesis contradict other portions of the Bible?

RetroCrono, this is a long-since disproven myth still promoted by many evolutionists. Many informed evolutionists no longer make this false claim:

I now know the Bible is the only real truth so that's what I'm sticking to. :-)
We are in strong agreement here!
