THE TOPIC IS "OLD EARTH/OLD LIFE CREATIONISM"
Many of the recent messages are shooting way off-topic. Adminnemooseus
Admin writes: It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon. There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot. Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.

Old Universe
Hi Moose,
Adminnemooseus writes: So, my question is, does evcforum.net have any (as above defined) old universe/old Earth/old life creationists (NOT theistic evolutionists), who do not accept the mainstream scientific fact and theory of evolution? I personally do not know of any such member. I believe in the oldest universe of anyone who has expressed an opinion that I have seen here. There has been mention of those who believe in a universe that has expanded then collapsed only to emerge again as a new universe. The Bible states the universe was created in the beginnings. Since we are talking about eternity that would have reached infinitely into the past. That does not mean it existed then as we see it now. In the history of the day of the creation of the universe mankind was created before plants, animals fowl or any living creature. I do not know a number large enough to say when the beginning was. God Bless,

Re: Old Universe
In the history of the day of the creation of the universe mankind was created before plants, animals fowl or any living creature. Could you give a chronology please? Order of events, dates or estimates where you know them, details you find helpful. I'm hoping to understand what fits between 1:1 and 1:2, which parts happen infinitely long ago and which parts happen recently, and where specific items like the various Falls and/or Floods fit in, in what order. Thanks! Edited by Iblis, : bridging the Gap

The Randman and ICANT positions
I've been involved in at least 2 past topics relating to members whose creo/evo positions I deemed to be muddled.
Yec/Not Yec? - A "let's keep it short topic" ICANT'S position in the creation debate I'm now unsure if I ever got a clear position statement out of either Randman or ICANT. Perhaps the best ICANT statement came here. A bit of that message:
ICANT writes: 4. My opinion on the first human life on this earth The first life on the present earth began during the light period that is found in Genesis 1:1 which the account/history of is given in Genesis 2:4-4:24. This life began billions of years ago. This life ceased to exist prior to the evening found in Genesis 1:2. The present life on the earth began to exist some 6000 years ago when God did a restoration of the earth. This seems to make ICANT a hybrid old life /and/ young life creationist.
ICANT writes: 5. My opinion on the modern great apes (gorillas, chimps) and modern humans having a common ancestor? The only thing any living creatures have in common is their Creator and many of the things He created them from. I interpret this to mean that each "kind" (and I don't want a "what is a kind?" sub-discussion - See Species/Kinds (for Peg...and others) for that) was a special creation event, with no ancestry chain from the earlier "kinds". Thus, God has been doing ongoing life special creations from billions of years ago to the more or less present. I now pray to God, Jah, and/or TFSM that this is on topic.
In the history of the day of the creation of the universe mankind was created before plants, animals fowl or any living creature. ??? This does not seem to line up with most anyone's theology or science history. Better start a new topic if you wish to pursue that theme. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Add "Kinds" topic link.

Re: The Randman and ICANT positions
I now pray to God, Jah, and/or TFSM that this is on topic. I know you are trying to keep order, and you are wise to do so. But I'm not interested in attacking ICANT's natural history in this thread, I want to understand his use of the Gap. Perhaps these original animals are something like the Platonic ideals, originals that serve as blueprints for the imperfect animals we see now. I am interested in the presence of more than one Adam as well. And I would particularly like to know who that snake was in this version of the story, what its state was, what if anything happened to it before the event, and what "before" would mean in this context, if Eden occurred at the very very beginning. I will be particularly pleased if he sorts out the discrepancies in the cherubic Eden meme. I would like a similar chronology from Buzsaw, but I don't think I'm going to get it unless he reads my posts. Randman I never took much interest in, he just seemed to make things up as he went along. Ray had a nice hypothesis one time, I remember, that could have really gone somewhere if Randman had stepped up and helped out; but he didnt. Some sort of fly in the annointment, you know.

Re: Crreation Science
Creation science acknowledges and researches all observable evidences ... Oh, don't be silly.

Re: The Randman and ICANT positions
Hi Moose,
Minnemooseus writes: This seems to make ICANT a hybrid old life /and/ young life creationist. I am old life, old universe. All life forms except modern man was called forth from their kind that had existed prior to Genesis 1:2, which was about 6,000+ years ago. Nothing is said to be created at this time except the large sea serpents and modern mankind. I have made this statement in several threads. So if that makes me a hybrid, I guess I am.
Minnemooseus writes: I interpret this to mean that each "kind" They were all formed from the ground except the woman that was made from the rib of the first man.
Minnemooseus writes: This does not seem to line up with most anyone's theology or science history. Science history does not go back that far. Yes Moose no one agrees with me in theology. There are those who come close but they do not believe the man I speak of is a human, just some sort of pre-historic being. I discussed all creatures being formed from the ground in my topic The Literal Genesis Account of Creation in Message 1 therefore everything had a common ancestor. God Bless

Here we are supposed to be discussing creationist who believe in an old universe/old life/ or Young universe/young life if I understand Moose. God Bless,

Old Earth / Old or Young Life
Here we are supposed to be discussing creationist who believe in an old universe/old life/ or Young universe/young life if I understand Moose. In my opinion, young Earth/young life creationism is a beaten to death theme, wrong right from the statement of "young". My aims are to focus on things Earth (ie. "Keep the discussion down to Earth"  ). Obviously, with an old Earth also comes some variety of old universe. As such, I am interested in how anti-evolutionists (not theistic evolutionists) fit the Earth biological history into a 4.5 billion year time-frame. Minnemooseus

Re: The Randman and ICANT positions
Hi ICANT, you should really get things straight, because there is in this post a contradiction (as it appears to me) with another statement you made a couple of days ago in the sentient life thread:
They were all formed from the ground except the woman that was made from the rib of the first man. This man was formed of the dust of the ground before any plant, animal or fowl was formed. He was the first creature made by God. The man bluejay said was to replenish the earth was created after all animals, plants, and fowls, at the same time as the female. They were created in the image/likeness of God. This man was not formed from the dust of the ground and the woman was not created from a rib taken from the man. They were spoke into existence. They were never placed in a garden and forbidden to eat from any tree. In fact they were told they could eat from all trees. This man and woman is the ancestor of modern humans. But to the OP, I don't think there are many OECist. I would say there is a few YEC that stay more than a week. So an OEC is pretty rare I guess.

Hope this isn't too late
Adminnemooseus- I probably fall into the YEC catagory although I'm not convinced that the earth is only 6-10k yrs old. Time doesn't matter to God. Did it actually take God 6 days as we know them to create the universe? In my view, that doesn't matter, the one point that does is that God created the universe. I do believe that we all descend from Adam and so, man has only been on earth for 6-10k yrs. 3DSOC
