Open Creationism

[DanK]

Ok, I hope this is the right place for this. I was just wondering, on the profile editing page, one of the choices for ontology is Open Creationist, and I was wondering what exactly that means. It sounds a lot like it could be what I believe but I've never heard the term before. For that matter, I've never heard of a specific term to describe my beliefs about it...

"Open Creationist" is protological view that was basically invented on TWeb by TolkienFan. The term "Open Creationist" is actually an alternative term as the original term is "Apathetic Creationist".

Put bluntly, adherants of this view (of which I am) really don't care how or when God created. We only officially believe that God created from nothing a finite number of years ago. We are generally open towards T.E, YEC and OAC (although I'm more partial to T.E.) but we tend to focus our studying on other aspects of scripture which we deem to be more important, for example, defending the historiocy of the Ressurection.

Hope this helps!

Spacefoetus has it right. Although in all fairness, Chaotic Void was the co-founder, I just tend to be the spokesman.

It's also an alternative term for Open Theism.

Okay, thanks. Yeah, it's basically what I believe, I just hadn't heard that term for it before.
