Talk:Old Earth Creationism (view source)
Revision as of 03:01, April 18, 2008
, 03:01, April 18, 2008→Age of the Earth: Not really other views (but there are a few)
Do Old Earth Creationists necessarily believe that the earth is billions of years old? I thought there were different strains that were in the millions, not billions. Isn't there a theory that the earth was brought into its current form with a different series of creation events at different times in its history?

:: The whole point of most versions of OEC is to accommodate the uniformitarian timescale, so if they then propose a ''different'' age, they've effectively shot themselves in the foot.
:: However, having said that, I think there are a few views with non-uniformitarian ages, including the belief that each day was a thousand years (which I know no good reason for other than a misinterpretation of the "day is as a thousand years" verse), and the Jehovah's Witness view that each day is seven thousand years (and we are still in the seventh day).
