Questions YEC believe support a literal bible narrative of the age of the earth

[Jay313 (Jay Johnson)]

I appreciate Timothy reproducing the list of “Questions YEC believe support a literal bible narrative of the age of the earth.” I cracked myself up remembering @adamjedgar’s prior thread about questions that keep him up at night as a YEC believer. Compare the seriousness of the two lists:

@Paraleptopecten

“What was the first living thing made of? Was it DNA? Was it RNA? Was it just proteins? Was it some mix?
What was its code? How many amino acids did it have? When did it come into being?
How many kinds of proteins did it have? How many of each?

@adamjedgar

• if there was no death before sin, how the heck did God make sure an ant wasnt accidently stepped on and killed by Adam, Eve, or another large animal in the garden of eden?
• Is the biocycle one of death? How ould YEC answer the question did leaves fall off trees down to the ground, rot, and fertilise the earth?
• Did Adam, Eve, and all the animals have bumholes…did they poop, or is that a result of the corruption of sin? How does a YEC answer such a dilemma? Can a YEC honestly make the seemingly ridiculous claim “no need to poo and wee in the garden of eden” in answer to such a question?

I’ll stop there.

I’ll concur–I’m in my first semester of college, but I’m not exactly a normal person of my age when it comes to geology and paleontology.

This was the only surprise of the whole thread. Are you really a college freshman, Timothy? If so, you certainly had me fooled. I’ll refrain from giving old man advice, but I’m pretty sure you have a bright future.
