Do Young-Earth Creationists Worship the Devil?

[SecularMotion]

Young-earth creationists claim that the being who made the Earth and humankind is neither trustworthy nor honest. Their concept is of a God who makes the universe look like it is a particular age, and the Earth look like it is a particular age, even though they were created much more recently, and then condemns people for believing that evidence.

Young-earth creationists do not believe the Bible's testimony (in particular in Romans 1) that the Creator can be known through observation of and reflection on the created order.

Young-earth creationists believe that the Creator responded to human sin by introducing flesh-eating bacteria, killer viruses, hurricanes, tornados, floods, and carnivores into the world, just to name a few things.

Young-earth creationists believe that it is perfectly acceptable to repeat lies, promote misunderstandings, distort scientific publications, demean the character and credibility of Christians as well as others who work in the natural sciences.

but SURE!

2. Er, while I stridently disagree with the young-earth creationists

and strongly object to any attempts to teach this to children, this particular take on them seems pretty over the top.

4. "Over the top" based on what?

What argument or answers do you have to what was posed in the O.P?

3. Turn, my friends, to Second Corinthians, the fourth chapter, the fourth verse, where we read

(New Living Translation)

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News.

This is the ordinary theology of Bible believing Christians. Gnostics, at least some Gnostics, have a different conception which involves the rather unsavory character Ialdabaoth. (various spellings.)
