We, who believe in a literal 6, 24 hour, day creation believe in the basic elements of valid science. We also recognize junk science. Let's put this in perspective since we claim to be BIBLE BELIEVERS, right?
1 Tim. 6
[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
[21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
Prov. 30
[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Exodus 20
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
O.k., as BIBLE BELIEVERS, we "believe" every pure word of God, correct? (We, at least I, believe them all.) It says the earth was created in SIX days.
Day can mean other that a 24 hour period, but God makes it clear.
If this was not a "yom" (Heb.) 24 hour period, it would not be clear as to how long a day of rest was.
Example: In six millions years, the LORD made heaven and earth, etc.,. . . and rested the seven millionth year, and hallowed it, and you shall not do any work that SEVEN MILLION YEARS?
See the nonsensical nature of that postulation?
The bible is actually VERY scientific to those who wish to dig it out, as gold. For example:
Isaiah 40
[22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
This word rendered circle has a synonym which would have helped some early scientists if the Roman Catholic Church didn't keep the scriptures and lexicons away from the people. That synonym is SPHERE.
The flat earth people would have said, "Ahhh! Sphere! That's why the horizons seams round!"
It's there. Another example:
"Ozone layer depletion decreases our atmosphere’s natural protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays."

Genesis 1
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
So, at creation we had a shield between us and the suns dangerous rays, a watery shield in the sky. Been up in an airplane before? Up in the mountains? It get's cold up there, correct. Yes! In fact, freezing. So the upper, we'll call it, canopy, was a frozen layer of H2O shielding the earth from harmful rays thus changing the earths atmosphere, the size of plants, animals, man, and the longevity of life.
Gen. 5
[27] And all the days ofMethuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
They found the fossil remains of a woman just west of Fort Worth, Texas and it was nearly 7 feet tall. She would have worn the equivalent to a size 16 shoe. We even know what they would have called her.
With a size 16 shoe, it would have been, "Ma'am!" ;D
I'm sorry, I just had to throw that in,
but it is true, you can verify that with Dr. Carl Baugh at the [link>>>>] Creation Evidences Museum in Glenrose, TX where the riverbed of the Puluxy River has the footprints of dinosaur and man next to each other in the SAME layer.
Just some food for thought.
