Creationism - a clearer picture?

[/B][/QUOTE]As far as I know both parties in this 'great debate' share the same universe, earth, and facts. This is not a debate about facts; we have the same facts. This is about an interpretation of those facts.To quote Dr. Don Batten "Both evolution and creation fall into the category of origins science. Both are driven by philosophical considerations. The same data (observations in the present) are available to everyone, but different interpretations (stories) are devised to explain what happened in the past."

Darwin Storm:Perhaps some of the following articles will satisfy your long awaited request to "lay down some of the theories of creation science and put forth supporting evidence." http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/3910.asphttp://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/1401.asphttp://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/docs/v23n3_people.aspMany, if not all, of the above topics have been and still are being discussed on this board (as indicated by TC).Sorry about simply providing a bunch of links but I thought it best to just 'lay some stuff' down initially.------------------

LUDh my...another baloney sandwitch? the population figures given in AIG assumes that populations have been doubling every 156 years since the flood....thats would mean that 150 years after the flood,16 people build the gigantic tower of Babel....must have been some engineering feat!!!

Maybe my math is wrong; according to the figures in the article, the population was possibly doubling every 19 years after the flood as noted below. Where did you come up with the 150 year 16 people figure?"Let us take the average of all births in the first two post-Flood generations as 8.53 children per couple. The average age at which the first son was born in the seven post-Flood generations in Shem’s line ranged from 35 to 29 years (Genesis 11:10—24), with an average of 31 years,7 so a generation time of 40 years is reasonable. Hence, just four generations after the Flood would see a total population of over 3,000 people (remembering that the longevity of people was such that Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, etc., were still alive at that time). This represents a population growth rate of 3.7% per year, or a doubling time of about 19 years."
