I am a biblical Old Earth Creationist, with about 15 years as a Young Earth Creationist. My education includes scientific computation and philosophy of science, and I have a fair understanding about bayesian statistics and epistemology.

I have found a disturbing lack of popular level high quality biblical answers from the OEC point of view. This is especially true when it comes to online material on many questions regarding biblical creationism. My hope is to make this information better known, more easy to understand and more readily available. I wish to contribute to the respectful dialogue between YEC and OEC creationists, and a better understanding about the arguments on each side.

I believe the aim of Creation apologetics is to find an honest and truthful understanding of both the scriptures and of empirical observations and objective analysis of the data, as well as to present such a holistic world view in a way that is intellectually powerful in our age of science. It is not important that my side wins: it is important that the Truth prevails.

My special fields of interest include analyzing in great detail all of the following:
 * Biblical arguments for a young Earth (their strengths / weaknesses)
 * Biblical arguments for a global/universal flood (their strengths / weaknesses)
 * Dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating (their strengths / weaknesses)
