I suppose I should introduce myself. I am a Young Earth Creationist, and have been since I first heard mother tell me the story of our creation at an early age. My faith in God and my belief that creation occurred in reality exactly as described in the Bible has always remained strong, though I am understanding of those who suffer from doubt and confusion. I don't assume that my opponents, Old Earth Creationists, Theistic and Atheistic Evolutionists, necessarily mean me harm or are my enemies. My opinion of Wikipedia and the scientific community is a little less fatalistic than that of my peers; I'm skeptical of the idea of a vast atheistic conspiracy and instead would say that the scientific community and education system, a small percentage of the global population, is afflicted by a few incorrect interpretations of data that have been deleterious to both faith and scientific knowledge, despite good intentions. I believe this will soon be corrected as scrutiny and critical thinking reveal flaws in the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang theory. I think the current problem came about for a couple of reasons:

1. Scientists sometimes have tunnel vision, using Occam's razor to shave off so much that they can't see the forest for the trees. 2. Educators either feel that treating the most popular theory as dogma is beneficial to students in a cynical, pragmatic sort of way (changing this on a whim when the theory is replaced or for purely political reasons), or they underestimate the impressionability of young students; they naively assume that their students won't accept what is taught unconditionally.
