Biblical creationists: "The evidence for a young Earth is convincing—even compelling, and fits what we understand about the ability of science to judge such things. Virtually every church we go to, lives are transformed and turned around by hearing a reasonable defense that the earth is young (compared to the secular view). In short, people are immensely encouraged that the Bible can be trusted—as written!
"So if we call ourselves Young Earth Creationists, it permits us to be marginalized by old-Earthers—even though they are the ones that should be marginalized, because ultimately, ‘creationists’ (in the sense now often called ‘YEC’) are the ones who ultimately are prepared to believe what the Bible says.
"A better way to go? The term we should use for ourselves, I suggest, is ‘biblical creationists’. Because that is exactly what we are!"
