Sure. If you have instangram, we can instant message each other. I’m @calvinstheologymemes@Nathanael Inman,
Seriously, though, what would you like to discuss about them? It'll help if you narrow down your question.

I understand that. I’m OEC. I was mainly asking about both Old earth AND Theistic Evolution

I'm again' it!what is everyone’s thoughts on theistic evolution or Old Earth creationism?
Biblical Creationists (and even ID,) I don’t really like the term YEC, are pretty consistent across the board. Not as much contradiction. These are merely my impressions as a casual observer. I may be misrepresenting a bit.
So far as I'm aware, flood geology has been around a long time. I'm not a fan of "creation science" (as a science; as opposed to educated guessing of an "if X were true, then Y is a good explanation" form), but creation.com (CMI) tends to be pretty fair in treating various YEC issues.
I'm against both TE and OEC, but I hold to mature creation (or rapidly matured creation), so I would say that there is a sense in which the earth is old, while being historically young.
Yes, I also do not like the term (or the related ones, like recent earth creationist) because of all the baggage it tends to carry (I think the term itself is fine if "young" is understood to refer to history). However, I personally find it easier to say I am YEC and then qualify if necessary than to say I am OEC and qualify from there, especially given the circles I run in.That is my position as well. As I believe that God created a mature earth, I do not like the term Young Earth Creationist, but perhaps that is being pedantic?
I think "young" is usually taken to mean "there's only been a few thousand years since creation", rather than that God created the earth in an embryonic state. After all, when God made Adam he (Adam) was mature enough to get married that same day, so there's no reason to suppose all other things weren't created in a state of maturity as well.That is my position as well. As I believe that God created a mature earth, I do not like the term Young Earth Creationist, but perhaps that is being pedantic?
