Hi, I was trying to post a "Hello" but the relevant thread wouldn't allow me to post there. So, could a mod move this for me please?
I'm Female, Scottish and am a Creationist. I just found this site a few minutes ago, and am looking forward to getting a little more free time to explore it.
Hope to learn a lot here.

Re: Welcome Welcome Welcome
Hi all, thanks for the lovely welcome. I've not really had time to view a lot of the site, so don't want to say too much at the mo.
I'm afraid I am a "Young Earth" believer. I know that doesn't go down well with most people of today.
I truly believe everybody must make up their own mind and be allowed to believe what they wish. Whether it be Evolution, Intelligent design or even fairies if they want.
I was born into a Christian home, but was taught evolution at school, so I became rather confused over the years. There was a time I even wondered if there was a God.
Then I came into contact with a Mr John McKay from "Creation Research. He has became a good friend over the years and a special blessing in my life.
Thankfully I am now in a happy contented place (well, with my faith at least)
I guess that's enough for now.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
Eilidh

Re: Welcome Welcome Welcome
Hi, Well, what a flood of questions. That's good, I like an active site.
Hmm, where to start? First let me say, although I'm no thicko, I'm no brilliant sholar either. However, I doubt if anything I had to say in defence of "Creationism" would hold any importance to any of you.
I believe in a young earth because it makes more sense to me than any of the explanations science has came up with.
I have watched debate after debate between Mr J McKay and some of the top scientist in the world. So far, non of them have held a candle to Mr McKay. I urge you to listen to a few of his discs.
I don't intend to get into anything confrontational, it's not my style. I'm happy with what I believe, and trust you are too.

Re: A place to start
Dr. Adequate:
You have said twice now, that Mr McKay's site is full of blunders.
Could you please write down the blunders you see, so that I can check them all out for myself.
I maybe should also tell you, that the same Mr McKay was a university lecturer of Evolution for many years, before coming to the conclusion that the evidence he was finding in the fossils, did not often tally up with the findings of the scientists.

Re: A place to start
Oh sorry, that will be my fault then. I thought it was the same thing.
I must read that part of his site, I've never really paid much interest into his past.

Re: John Mackay
First, may I say thank you for your reply. I can see you've put a lot of time and effort into it, so I also thank you for that.
I will now go and spend a few days digesting what you have to say.
