As
a teenager, like most of us, I had a deep desire & urgency to know
where the source of life came from .Who am I ? Why am I here on earth,
& where will I go after death .... I first explored with various
thoughts of atheism, re incarnation, and Darwin's theory of evolution
too. All these did not provide any conclusive evidence for me until my
search for truth came to an end when I was born again in 1987.
Since 1987, I have always believed that the world was created in 6 days
- and that Yahweh God rested on the 7th day until I was challenged to
examine it recently. My brother in law who is also a Believer, was
influenced by a video clip on youtube where a speaker put forth the
argument that the six days mentioned in Genesis Ch 1 were not a 24 hour
day but could mean thousands, if not millions of years. My immediate
response was to reinterpret Genesis to try to harmonize it with the
view that the earth was millions of years old, and the only way I could
justify that was to reinterpret each day not as a literal 24 hour day,
but millions of years.
However, that view had alot of loopholes. I then began to do a research on the internet, & was for the first time exposed to a Young Earth & Old Earth theory. According to those who hold the view of Young Earth, chrono-genealogies in the Bible indicate the age of the universe and Earth to be approximately 6,000 years. Old Earth adherents on the other hand subscribe that the whole of creation came into being over thousands, if not millions of years , and is in harmony with the theory of Evolution ( particles - to - human theory ).

After pouring through articles written by both sides, I was inclined to
believe the Young Earth account. It was also during this time that I was
invited to attend a study on evolution led by Mr Kon Kee Fui who was
conducting a series of studies debunking evolution called Evolution's
Achilles' Heels. The evidence presented at these studies further
cemented my belief that the Biblical account of 6 days was correct and
that the secular world's version of millions of years and that of
Evolution made popular by Charles Darwin had no evidence to substantiate
it
