"Tis
a dangerous thing to engage the authority of scripture in disputes about the
natural world, in opposition to reason; lest time, which brings all things to
light, should discover that to be evidently false which we had made scripture
assert." - Thomas Burnet

Earth Creationist
"Young
earth creationism brings about significant scientific problems based on what
it appears we know [about the origin and history of life] ...The creation
account is not a scientific text. Using it as a science is similar to
ascribing to a flat earth." -
William
Dembski
"In
his testimony before the supreme court, Nobel Laureate physicist Murray
Gell-Mann said, and I must agree with him on this point, it would be easier to
prove that the earth is flat than to prove that the universe is only a few
thousand years old." -

Old
Earth, Progressive Creationism (Includes
Day Age & Gap theories)
"...If
one must make a choice between a full-fledged theistic evolutionism and a
compromising "progressive creationism," with its "day/age"
theory of Genesis one would have to judge the latter worse than the former,
theologically speaking. Both systems are equally objectionable in terms of
their common commitment to the geological age system, with its supposed
three-billion-year spectacle of random wastefulness and a suffering, dying
world. However, progressive creationism compounds the offense by making God
have to redirect and recharge everything at intervals. ...Progressive creation
postulates a world that has to be pumped up with new spurts of creative energy
and guidance whenever the previous injection runs down or misdirects. Surely
all those who really believe in the God of the Bible should see that any
compromise with the geological-age system is theological chaos. Whether the
compromise involves the day/age theory or the gap theory, the very concept of
the geological ages implies divine confusion and cruelty, and the God of the
Bible could not have been involved in such a thing as that at all." -

Intelligent Design
Creationism
"There is a strong movement among evangelicals today to emphasize "intelligent design" as the argument of choice against naturalism and Darwinian evolution. ...But this approach, even if well-meaning and effectively articulated, will not work! It has often been tried in the past and has failed, and it will fail today. The reason it won't work is because it is not the Biblical method." -
