OK, first, Tim Tebow is awesome. Go Broncos!
Second,
I believe we have evolved from apes. I believe in dinosaurs. I also believe the earth was created from debris surrounding the sun that clumped together into a spherical shape. And I believe it all happened in more than seven days.See what you have done, all you "Young Earth Creationists" out there? You have turned the belief in the literal Genesis account of creation into such a doctrinal issue that people reject the Bible and the Gospels based on that alone! So now, all Christians are seen as stupid because they are assumed to all be YEC'ers.
But I also believe in Tim Tebow because there is no scientific explanation for what is happening to the Denver Broncos. There is no other plausible way to make sense of these games and the amazing, miraculous way with which they win week after week. Not the victory at Miami or the last-second beating of the New York Jets and certainly not Sunday afternoon when the Denver Broncos and Tebow were wretched for more than 55 minutes and somehow won a game that can’t rationally be analyzed.
It just happened.
Well, Mr. Carpenter of Yahoo! Sports, you don't have to reject all those things in the first paragraph to be a Christian. Well, you have to reject the first sentence, but then again science has NO PROOF of human evolution from apes, all they have are skeletons of humans and apes that look sort of kind of like they may have "evolved" from each other. Then they make up stories about all of this to make it fit into their desired narrative.
Instead of just prattling on about this here myself, I'll point the interested reader to:

I doubt that YEC is the problem. I think that the real issue comes with this: "In the begining God created..." The exact method and time line isn't the issue, never has been. The real issue is the main mover.
The entire excercise in Darwinism is predicated on finding a way to have a creation without a creator. There never was any science behind the age of creation, every so often it changes. Drawin had hundreds of thousands of years and now its grown to 20 billion years. They don't know and have no rational basis for finding out at this point in time.
That said, the fact that evolutionists haven't proven their case isn't a defacto win for YEC.

I know, I know. The real problem is that people are rejecting God, and they latch on to whatever excuse is their favorite.
"The real problem is that people are rejecting God, and they latch on to whatever excuse is their favorite."
Yep, that's it. Personally, I think if we spent more time focused on the basics - how we treat others - and less time on doctrinal issues which we cannot possibly 'prove' and which are not salvation issues, we'd make more headway into the hearts of those around us.
And honestly, I'm dearly hoping once I'm outside linear time that God will let me see creation - at the very least the part that involved our solar system.
Arielle, that is an excellent observation. Get back to basics. Don't argue about creation or inerrancy of Scripture or end times eschatology or the historicity of Jesus. Love other people, and show Christ through us.
