Does Genesis Address the Time of Creation, or Just the Fact of Creation?
"He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that
formed the eye, shall He not see?" (Psalm 94:9)
The Literal Week of Creation
There are many Christians today who insist that they believe the Bible, but seem unable to believe its very first chapter. The Biblical record says that God created the universe and everything in it in six days, then rested on the seventh day (note Exodus 20:8-11).
Old-Earth Creationism
Many evangelical leaders today, unfortunately, have capitulated to the evolutionary time-scale of modern unbelieving geologists and astronomers. They feel that they must somehow reinterpret the Genesis record of creation to allow for billions of prehistoric years, which the evolutionists must have in order to make cosmic evolution and biological evolution seem feasible.

Nevertheless, we teach this without compromise and without apology.
