When Bible-believing Christians who hold to creation are discriminatorily "expelled" from the academic arena, they can look to the Book of Daniel for encouragement. Why? Because Daniel was excluded, unjustly, from a government-sponsored conference of experts, and Daniel's God was the real reason for the discrimination.

The day-age theory, which posits that the creation days of Genesis were not 24-hour days but long "ages" spread over many years, is often used by old-earth creation adherents to compromise the creation account with evolution. Some even claim that the seventh day on which God rested is still going on today!

What is a day? Inventing a timepiece requires intelligent design,¹ and the "day" is no exception. From the very beginning, Genesis 1:14 reveals, days were invented to measure time.

In the Western world, most people--even many Christians--are convinced that science has proven evolution and its millions-of-years timescale. In believing this, they generally do not separate the naturalistic interpretations of scientific data from the data itself.
