YEP gave 2 relevant results …

One is from Homeschool Blogger with my video Young Earth Today 2026:

Here is a more recent video defending the #Young_Earth #Y6K

The second result from YEP is “What to Learn from the Decline of Young Earth Creationism” by Marc Sims from last month:

https://mereorthodoxy.com/what-to-learn-from-the-decline-of-young-earth-creationism

 

Marc Sims received his M.Div. from Southern Seminary in Louisville (KY).  He is the teaching pastor at Quinault Baptist Church in Kennewick, Washington.  One wonders if he’s visited the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum in Kentucky and spoken with Dr. Terry Mortenson (Ph.D. History of Geology) and Dr. Nathan Jeanson (Ph.D. Cell Biology – Harvard).

In my convenience poll on the Age of the Earth, 30% held to a Young Earth:

This is the national survey that I would like to see …

How Old is the Earth?

A) 4,000 years

B) 6,000 years

C) 8,000 years

D) 10,000 years

E) More than 10,000 years

 

So, I would question the very thesis in the title of Bro Sims article.

Al Mohler, the President of Southern Seminary, is a Young Earth advocate:

I highly suggest that Bro Marc get Dr. Madueme’s book on #SIN from Baker Academic.

Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences

by Hans Madueme:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801098009

 

This book is not written to excuse unrighteousness, but rather defends the Young Earth view.  It received an Honorable Mention in Theological Studies from the Southwestern Journal of Theology Book Award in 2024.  

 

According to Thomas McCall of Asbury Theological Seminary, "This is the most erudite and theologically sophisticated defense of 'young earth creationism’ that I have read.”

Contact Dr. McCall:

https://asburyseminary.edu/faculty/thomas-mccall/

 

Sims quotes Carl Trueman of Grove City College, whose new book is The Desecration of Man, as follows:

 

Whether evolution can be argued from the evidence is actually irrelevant to the reason most people believe it.  Few of us are qualified to opine on the science.  But evolution draws on the authority that science possesses in modern society.  Like priests of old who were trusted by the community at large and therefore had significant social authority, so scientists today often carry similar weight.  And when the idea being taught has an intuitive plausibility, it is persuasive.

 

The exact same thought applies to OEF’s or Old Earth Fallacies!

Sims brings up the classic objection of how did we get day and night before the #Sun was created on #Day4 ?  If you’ve been to a concert or basketball game lately, you’ve used the flashlight on ur phone.   Let me break this down to the base level …

[Earth] … … … <<<<< [light]

Makes sense, right?!

 

Another book Sims should read in Coming to Grips with Genesis which answers all the common objections to the non-traditional reading of the First Book of Scripture:

https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/coming-grips-genesis/

 

Consider Jesus’ AGE verses: Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19-20, Lk. 11:50,51.

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female’” (Mk. 10:6).
So, there can’t be millions of years between Day1 and the creation of Adam.

If Jesus is young earth, we should be too.

To the best of my knowledge, there have been no formal debates on …

 ** Jesus was Young Earth.

 ** The New Testament supports a Young Earth.

 

Sims fails to mention the A+ documentary Is Genesis History? with Del Tackett (Truth Project):

https://youtu.be/UM82qxxskZE

 

For in six days [Day1 to Day6] the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.  Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day [not Epoch] and made it holy. (Ex. 20:11) … #EX2011 #X2011 #Six7

 

Sims decries #Creationistas who warn of the slippery slope.  “Deviate from a young-earth and you are on a slippery slope to deny the essential tenets of our faith; disagree on this issue and you do not take the Bible seriously,” he wrote, mocking Orthodox Protestants who take Genesis as Historical Narrative (“OPGANE”).

 

The slippery slope is real, for example,

 **Rhett McLaughlin (of Rhett & Link fame)

 ** Seth Andrews (Deconverted)

Embracing Darwinism led to doubt which led to agnosticism or atheism.

And, of course, Darwin himself is case study on the #Road2Compromise 

See chapter 10 of my book, “Dawin’s Downers”

Further help for Bro Sims …

I've written two books defending the Young Earth view from History & Science:

Hannity Flips the Vatican

Recently on his show I heard Sean Hannity say that he is no longer Roman Catholic:

https://www.christianpost.com/news/sean-hannity-says-faith-is-stronger-than-ever-after-leaving-catholic-church-over-institutionalized-corruption.html

  mooore >>

https://www.themix.net/tv-shows/sean-hannity-opens-up-religious-journey-christian-faith/

 

This is not new news, but it shows that he still holds that position and his departure was not just a temporary fad.  Ann Coulter is another example of high-profile ex-Catholic who has apparently turned Protestant. #RCC

Tragic Crash on I-35 in OKC

Three people, including an Oklahoma State Trooper and child were killed in a crash on I-35 in OKC last WED (4-8-26):

https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-city-i35-crash-highway-patrol-trooper/70965279

The crash involved debris falling from a truck, which caused an SUV to swerve, cross the center cable barrier, and collide with OHP Trooper Vernon Brake.  The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) is seeking dashcam footage.  If you have any, please call 405-425-2323.  Another report from CDL Life:

The Titan “Nuclear Explosion”

Recently much discussion has surrounded the actual use of nuclear weapons.  Has America ever experienced a “nuclear explosion”?  Well, sort of …

The 1980 Damascus (AR) Titan missile explosion in Arkansas was triggered when an Airman dropped an 8-pound socket wrench from a height 80 feet, which bounced around and punctured the Titan II missile's first-stage fuel tank.  The fuel leak led to a catastrophic explosion on September 19th.  The explosion ejected the 9-megaton nuclear warhead 600 feet from the silo.  The blast fatally injured Airman David Livingston and injured 21 other personnel.  There was no radioactive contamination.

The explosion of the volatile fuel blew off the 740 ton silo door of reinforced concrete and steel!

A 9-megatgon bomb would burn up people outside (not in a bunker) within a 20 mile radius.
