[quote=Anonymous]The problem with the concepts of new-earth creationism is there is no proof.  Absolutely no data supporting that the earth was created in 6 days some 6000 years ago.

On the other had, there is a lot of data indicating the earth is old -- radioactive dating, ice cores, rate of slowing of the earth;s rotation. Plate tectonics -- the driving forces are incompatible with an new earth.

It actually results in a very simple model for the evolution of the planet.

As for biology, well, in the fossil record, we have some rules:  older rocks are on the bottom, younger are on top.  That is, unless faulting occurs.  Where we have large sequences of rocks -- such as the Grand Canyon, there are simpler organisms on the bottom, with increasing complexity.  You end up with a dominant set of species; 65,000,000 it was reptiles.  Then, something wiped them out.  Then, you saw evolution in the fossils record of mammals, starting with rodents, and diversifying.  We are now in the age of mammals.

Unfortunately, if we don't change our behavior, we will kill ourselves off -- either by climate change or with bombs.  either way, something else will replace us humans, and possibly mammals.

There is a lot of data supporting this, but no data supporting creationism.

Ergo, by Occam's Razor, creationism is rejected in favor of an evolving earth.  [/quote]
