Well, first I guess it depends on your opinion of how old the earth is. I don't believe it's older than about 10,000 years. The carbon dating etc. has been proven to be far less accurate than we were told. Furthermore, I think the immense pressure from the flood (which every ancient society has an account of) would explain fossils etc. Also, there is no fossil record or any evidence to support evolution in the traditional sense....no cross species evolution. I do believe in adaptation. For example, God created the first dog and the species adapted into the many breeds we now have.

BTW, I do homeschool and I will be teaching my sons all sides of the issues equally.
