Cammie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I was recently reading a review of a history curriculum and it stated that the books support a "young earth viewpoint." What does this mean, exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 That HaShem created the world in 6 24hr days, literally as stated, and that the earth is estimated at between 6,000 and 10,000yrs old. Most lean 6,000, but up to10,000 has been accepted in young earth creationism theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 That HaShem created the world in 6 24hr days, literally as stated, and that the earth is estimated at between 6,000 and 10,000yrs old. Most lean 6,000, but up to10,000 has been accepted in young earth creationism theory. Interesting. Ds and I were just looking at the archaeology dig of Catalyohuk (I can't write the accents in this format) online, a city found that is almost 9,000 years old. It was fascinating.

Crimson Wife Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You'll also see certain other dates given according to a timeline that corresponds with a literal reading of the Bible rather than the timeline used by secular historians. I don't remember all of them but I know I've seen a chart listing both the secular and the adjusted Biblical dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hmmm... thanks for the info! This is a new one for me and something I will have to get my head around to understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyL Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A great resource for understanding "young earth" is answersingenesis.org. Click on the "Get Answers" tab at the top. From there you can find many articles on this subject. Hope this helps! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Most of the time a young earth viewpoint would expect any civilization to be dated less than 4,000 years old, as the world wide flood is thought to be after that date, sometime in the 3rd century BC (I hope I have that right, you get the gyst). One thing that is interesting is the proposal that the world wide flood changed the atmosphere (men's lives were much longer before the flood) thus drastically changing results that are obtained by carbon dating. I haven't seen world history based on young earth dates. It sounds interesting to read up on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisharog Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Someone mentioned the answers in genesis website. They also put out a magazine http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am that has gorgeous photos and is much like a national geographic from a young earth perspective. While it is an adult magazine, I am using parts of it to homeschool my DS10. If any of you are in the area near the Kentucky /Ohio border area, Answers in Genesis has created a wonderful museum called the Creation Museum. This museum rocked our world. We were Christians leaning toward an old earth perspective and this museum put it all together for us. Cant recommend it highly enough.

PCA Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I agree with Trisha. The AIG creation museum is amazing, highly recommend it. Also go to their website, there is countless resources for children and adults. I use alot of their science books. Just the photos/drawings alone in their books are worth it. http://www.answersingenesis.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in the Country Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 :iagree: Answers in Genesis has fantastic free resources for adults and kids. In fact, for TOG's writing assignment this week, dd is supposed to outline an encyclopedia article and I am using a free AiG article on dating methods (carbon/radiometric dating) that is written on a "kid-level". Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinTea Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 For another creationist viewpoint, but with an old earth belief.... http://reasons.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
