In 1995 I wrote a 3000-word article for the Christadelphian magazine The Testimony about creation. As all Christadelphians regard the Bible as the fully inspired and infallible word of God there was no attempt to prove this point in the article.
I also published the article on the Internet. Unfortunately a lot of people did not recognize that the article was not written for a general audience, and the page was listed, without my knowledge, in several directories as a page that proves creationism. The article was no such thing - it was an examination of Biblical passages on Creation with the implicit assumption that the Bible is without error.
Proving Biblical Creationism, as I understand it, to a general audience would actually be a very complex task. It would be necessary to prove that the Bible is without error, a task that would take several hundred thousand words to do with true rigor. It would also be extremely useful - but not essential - to fully and reliably examine the evidence that suggests the world was not created, and to analyze in detail issues such as the problem of suffering and God's role in human affairs. None of this is impossible, but doing it in 3000 words would be.
I am responsible for two other websites that discuss some of the issues involved.
If you are keen to obtain a copy of the article I wrote, you can contact the Testimony reprints service. The article was called A Physicist's View of Creation and was published in January and February 1996.
