I sympathize, brother. I was a Bio. major at Rutgers for 2 & 1/2 years (Pre Med) before I transferred to Seminary and studied for the ministry. I kept Biology as a minor in a Christian University. What a contrast and an eye opener I received after transferring. The evidence is not presented in secular school Evolution courses;the evidence is covered up, because it supports scriptural creationism!(And I studied Evolution in depth in a course on Evolution, another in Genetics, advanced Bio. courses,Physiology, Cell Physiology, etc.).
The problem with modern evangelicalism is that Christians have surrendered interpretation of Genesis to scientists and have allowed the foundation of the veracity of scripture to be undermined. "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalms 11:3
I can heartily recommend the books of Jonathan Sarfati, (PhD in Physical Chemistry)- especially Refuting Compromise. He addresses the age of earth issue, Big Bang, etc.. He has presented the best evidence for a young earth (his position has earth created 4178 BC) I have seen to date. Most evolutionists will never even consider reading a book like his, let alone actually reading it.
Don't be intimidated by the evolutionary position, which includes cosmological evolution as well as biological. The actual evidence is all on your side. The other side is based entirely on unproved assumptions.Those who argue for evolutionary theory cannot win against an informed and confident Creationist.
Sarfati's book I mentioned is a refutation of Hugh Ross' cosmology throughout. Ross is a Christian Astronomer who is a notorious proponent of Big Bang cosmology, a 15 billion year old universe, etc.. Sarfati's arguments are unanswerable, in my view. Christians especially need to read this book to arm them against the onslaught against the literal interpetation of Genesis and simple faith in the word of God.
I also highly recommend AnswersinGenesis.org for its resources. Jonathan's book should be available there and there is a lot of free media material available.
I can't wait for the attacks against me on this forum for taking this position. I can hear it now: "Flat earth society", "Living in the Dark Ages", "Brain dead", etc.
Perhaps we can start a Creationism forum. We'll see. I would gladly field questions, as long as they are civil.
Blessings in our Lord,
Dave
