I believe in Creation but not biblical creation or scientific Creation. To explain in more detail:
 * I believe parts of the Bible may be divinely inspired, but I don't believe it all is - so I am not a Biblical creationist.
 * I believe the universe is much younger than claimed by Big-Bangism or evolutionism (so I'm a "Young Earth Creationist" not an "Old Earth Creationist") although I don't subscribe to a particular age. I'd suggest the universe is around ten thousand years old (a bit older than most Bible-based estimates), maybe older - but at the absolute most I'd say about ten million years old, which is far less than most Big-Bangist/evolutionist claims (hundreds of millions, billions of years old)
 * I'm not so concerned with science. I'm happy to accept evolutionist science, on the proviso that evolution is a "useful myth" rather than literal truth. I think whatever value there is in evolutionist science, I can benefit from it just by treating evolution as a useful yet ultimately false myth. So while I'm a creationist, I'm not a scientific creationist.
 * I believe in a Deity, who created the universe. But my religious beliefs are outside the mainstream of Christian thought, and aren't explicitly Christian.

I am happy to contribute to this site in what ways I can. I recognize my viewpoint is different from the mainstream viewpoint on this site, and I don't intend to change/interfere with that. But where there is overlap, I'd be willing to help.
