EvC Forum: Kurt Wise - A YAC and an old earth evolutionist? some young-earthers admit that they believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis, but understand that observational evidence is to the contrary.
I'm curious as to how this kind of belief holds together. Do they see the world created in the bible as a different one than the one with the evidence in it? Do they believe that God planted evidence of an old earth deceitfully in order to "test" us?
I can't speak for any such people. But I have heard the view expressed that it's just a matter of us having not investigated fully enough and, with the right techniques, we'll find that science and Genesis point to the same conclusion.
