Ken Ham of Creation Museum Slams Robertson for Dismissing Young Earth Theory
Pat Robertson has been accused by evangelical Christian and creationism proponent Ken Ham of "destructive teaching," after the televangelist stated that the existence of dinosaurs is evidence that Young Earth Creationists are wrong about the planet being 6,000 years old.
Christian Broadcasting Network spokesman Chris Roslan told The Christian Post on Friday, however, that "Dr. Robertson stands by his comments."
The controversy arose earlier this week when Robertson, co-hosting his "The 700 Club" program on CBN, dismissed the theory that the earth is only 6,000 years old, which Ken Ham, CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, took offense to....
Carbon dating is severely flawed. See the evidence related to Mt St Helens eruption for how the reality of rapidly the remains of cataclysmic events assembles into what can appear to look like it took many many years to assemble. God said it. I believe it. 6 days, literal: ..'and morning and evening were the first day'...and so on. The problem is not the evidence. The problem is unbelief. Only the Lord God can give faith (Ephesians 2:8,9) For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. In the beginning is really the beginning. Without any outside references, one can see through the Bible the confined space of time since the beginning.

I agree with you Christopher; no true Pastor can comfortably stray away from the truth. If the Holy Spirit resides in them, then He will convict them of error, in pleasant or not so pleasant ways. But, just think, when God looks at one of His children, He sees the righteousness of His perfect Son and there is nothing, absolutely nothing, a true child of His can ever do to change that reality. Whether we understand it or not, we are judicially perfect.
Oh, and you are also correct; 6 literal days, all by His fiat.
