Creation Evolution debate in a nutshell

Image via Wikipedia 1. Young Earth Creationism (YEC) The Skinny : Belief that the universe was created miraculously by God around ten thousand years ago (or less). Explanation: YECs often insist that their view is the  only  way to understand and remain faithful to the integrity of the Scriptures. For them, options which integrate evolution or an old earth paradigm compromise the clear teachings of Scripture and even the essence of the Gospel message. They will often argue (especially since the publication of   The Genesis Flood  in 1960) that science is on their side using “catastropheism” or “ Flood Geology .” They believe that world-wide biblical catastrophes sufficiently explain the fossil records and other geographic phenomena that might otherwise suggest evolution or an old earth. They believe in a literal Adam and Eve, Garden of Eden, snake talking, and global flood. Relationship Between science and Scripture: Scientific discovery always submits to Scripture in all matters
