RE: Christian Creationist vs. Scientific Worldview Debate
I have a big problem with the Creationists who insist that God created the world less than 10,000 years ago. All the physical evidence points to a world much, much older.
The creation account in Genesis can't be interpreted as happening over 7 literal 24 hour days.
The 7 day Creationists are a stumbling block to many of the unsaved. I would had a hard time accepting Christ if I had to believe that the earth was less than 10,000 years old when all the scientific evidence points to a world billions of years old.
I wouldn't say they are a stumbling block to the unsaved because you're assuming people should be saved based on logic. The vast majority of Christians in the scriptures (all?) were not saved based on logical reasoning pertinent to modern western society.
It's a bad premise, that to think a person should be a Christian because they went through a series of higher intellectual reasonings. If this were how God did things, then a vast majority of the human population could never be saved due to their lack of intelligence or knowledge.
God is intentionally foolishness to the wise: "but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles," - 1 Cor 1:23
