Chatting with my friend Mark, who I've known for 15 years and who is a strong recent creationist, he made the following comment:

"I suspect that in another hundred years, barring divine advents and dark ages, our scientific understanding will be quite different on these issues. And I suspect, close to the Biblical view of catastrophism."

That set me back on my heels - I'd never thought about it, taking this kind of long view, but I guess if I had, the idea that mainstream science would subscribe to a young age of the earth in future is not what I would have projected.

So how about it? In 100 years, or even in 40, scientific knowledge will have changed dramatically, that's a given. But in which directions, on the issues of special creation and the age of the earth?

If chance is the father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky.


Howyabeen?
