ex-YECs -- a question

Hi Roxrkool.I was YEC. Now, I believe that the Big Bang was the Creation Event.Despite my exaggerated and radical words at EvC, I'm basically the least bothered person concerning creationism/evolution. To notice this, one can read my posts and derive that they are mainly concerned with F&B.I was convinced the earth old because like NosyNed often has said, the rocks or earth is an accurate word of God, or should be to a believer. Even the NT says that the heavens were of old.Also, because of Einstein and light. I watched the series Light Fantastic, which explained how the universe must be old. But basically the evidence is overwhelming for me - even light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach us. ALso, I think taking the Genesis days as literal really swung it for me. There just simply is no reason to create a silly literalist rule that those days were twenty four hours. For me - that totally limits God and adds to the text. For example, the first day there was no sun - so why would that day need to be a yom?And so I personally reached an odd position of creationist/evolutionist hybrid. Believing that man has been around six thousand years, and that the texts indicates his arrival after God "let the earth bring forth" organisms. Which also matches up with evolution, - another logical pathway in my mind. So we either got here instantaneously, through miraculous means. Or we arrived through the animals. I favour the former - but think that some evolution of animal kinds is evidenced.So yes - I am an old earth creationist. But also - I'm indecisive/a contradiction. That's because I don't know what to believe about this issue - and have always had this problem.
