@KingOfSalt4 Genesis 1,2 is describing the earth that God created in Genesis 1,1.
The notion that God didn't create from nothing is problematic for orthodox Christian doctrine in general, not just young earth creationism.
males love natural selection until nature doesn't select them. then they resort to brutal violence and an entire system of oppression to go against our very nature
Observe how Christianity goes against man's desires for meaning, justice, death to not be the end, to see evil punished, reunion with loved ones, etc. It's so against man's desires it's a wonder anyone gets on board with it.
