Hi Adam,
It sounds like you’re passionate about seeing God’s Word upheld faithfully. That is something to be commended. I just thought I’d throw in something that the Bible says for you to consider.
¹³Do not have two differing weights in your bag — one heavy, one light. ¹⁴Do not have two differing measures in your house — one large, one small. ¹⁵You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lᴏʀᴅ your God is giving you. ¹⁶For the Lᴏʀᴅ your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly. – Deuteronomy 25:13-16.
Any creation model, any interpretation of Genesis 1-11, any challenge to the scientific consensus on the age of the Earth or evolution, must obey that Scripture. It must get its facts straight. It must have accurate and honest weights and measurements. And it must apply the same level of rigour and quality control that we see in commercial science laboratories in the way that it accounts for the evidence that we see in nature. (In other words, it must not cut corners or get sloppy.) Any form of creationism that does not meet these standards is not scientific, is not Biblical, and is not honest.
If you want some of the specifics of what this means, start here:
I can go over it in more detail after the weekend if you like. In the meantime, have a blessed Christmas and may the peace of Christ dwell in you richly as you celebrate His birth.
