The strongest argument for young-earth creationist is the testimony of scripture. The story of creation in Genesis does not give any hint to being a parable, but rather an accurate recording of God’s craftmanship. According to Answers in Genesis, Steve Ham says that “All through Scripture, we see Scripture quoting Scripture, Scripture also helps us to understand the very narrative of the Bible. “I think it’s fairly clear that the authors of scripture and the Holy Spirit that inspired them viewed the people and events of Genesis 1-11 as historical. These are not merely parables. There was a real Adam and Eve, a real Garden of Eden, and a real flood. Dr. Todd Wood said, “Be firm when the Bible is clear and be ambiguous where the Bible is ambiguous.” So, I take my stand on the clarity of scripture, but I’ll always be open to exploring those unanswered questions.”
The most difficult problem facing young earth creation is that our critics, including theistic evolutionists, look at us and think that we just take every word of the Bible literally. According to Answers in Genesis Biblical creationists hold to a young-earth view because Genesis 1–11 is historical narrative, and interpreting it correctly establishes the theme of Scripture. But understanding the Bible is part of the quest. The Bible is not always clear, and it’s definitely not clear on a lot of points. Being a young earth creationist doesn’t mean that you know everything about the Bible and sometimes that is expected from people with opposing views then us but in reality, we are all humans trying to interpret God’s word in the best way we can.
