That name is confusing or is it just me? Creation makes sense, but "new earth?" I guess they're renaming it to have less of a stigma?

Well... not quite... Its specifically Young Earth Biblical Creation. There are alot of people that believe in old earth Biblical Creation.

Young Earth, Old Earth... does it really matter? It's not like God's up there with a stop watch, "Ok, time to prepare the Earth for the next phase starting in 48 hours..."
Or maybe he is , and 48 hours to God is like 48,000,000 hours for us or something, lol.
I take the stance that Science isn't going to teach us about the Spiritual, and the Spiritual isn't going to teach us about science... However, the two are not mutually exclusive.

This type of commentary should go into a new thread as it is certain to be something that sets people off and will end up having nothing to do with the thread.
(Yes, I started it with my screenshot, sorry).

Perhaps it should be split into another thread? Probably a good idea.

So the debate was about creation versus evolution or what?

No debate, I don't think there's much of a point to that, but rather probably just discussion, if people want to argue that's fine I guess, but it was derailing the homeschooling topic is all.

Yes... so we don't flood the other thread with theology and science-speak, lol.
I totally take the blame for that one, lol.
I won't go as far to say that Science will never be wrong... Look at the early days... the Earth used to be flat, and the sun used to revolve around the Earth.
But I also can't wrap my head around a scenario of putting all of the parts for a watch in the washing machine and letting it run for 50 bazillion years that at some point you would have a fully functioning watch...
But I do believe that if I jump off the roof of a building I am going to fall.

I'd say we sort of fit into the "old earth" creation, as in a similar idea to how in the Hadith, I think narrated by Abu Dharr, it states that if sciences defies our interpretation of the Qur'an, then our interpretation is wrong, i.e. I don't have an issue with the age of the Earth being 4.5 billion years or the like. I must prefer the idea of self-assembling elegance (as today we're working on in the lab as far as nano tubes and so forth) over God-snaps-his-fingers and everything is instantly in this state, including in partially state of decay.

I've only heard Young Earth (meaning that the earth isn't old), but have not heard new earth.
