Why I became a Young Earth Creationist Christanon 12/11/19 (Wed) 20:17:26 9c0394 No.825130

>The paradigm shift that I have experienced has been profound. While I most certainly believed in Jesus while I accepted evolution, accepting evolution prevented the full realization of a thoroughly Christian worldview. A fully Christian worldview accounts for beauty, and asserts that the reason for the form of plants and animals is not simply survival value, but its aesthetic value.

>A fully Christian worldview does not make paganism primary. It asserts that human history begins with true worship of the true God, and it begins again with the renewal of that worship under the Second-Father, Noah. Coming to accept creationism has led to a profound reconfiguration of my worldview, and happily, it has led to the dissolution of virtually all doubt about the truth of Christianity. The sun really shines, the birds really sing, God really loves me and Jesus truly rose to renew all things.

>How glorious are thy works O Lord. In Wisdom hast thou made them all.

>the Church has always confessed the absolute inerrancy of the Bible

This is literally not true

>that there has been an error in copying one manuscript from another

literally talks about error in the next sentence.

I like orthochristian as much as the next dog but this article is a mess and there is not really anything inherently wrong with accepting evolution. None of the points outlined in OP really contradict evolution or assert the necessity of YEC over evolution.

In Orthodoxy we recognize that 'apocryphal' texts such as the Protoevangelium of James have truths in them, but they do not rise to be Scripture. The Church has absolutely professed the material sufficiency of Scripture though.

>there is not really anything inherently wrong with accepting evolution.

How about the fact that death exists before the fall. God did not create death (Wisdom 1:13). So, if God did not create using death, who creates? Satan? God uses death for billions of years while creating, and yet it's not natural? That's fatuous. As Seraphim mentions, YEC adds another dimension to the Bible–chronology. If we follow this, exactly 3000 years after Creation, Solomon builds the Temple, and a 1000 years later, the Second Temple is destroyed, and between that time and creation, there are precisely 100 generations.

These documentaries by MHFM (Most Holy Family Monastery) completely refute the false doctrine of 'evolution', and prove that Creationism is true.
