If you are an old earth creationist you probably should avoid these colleges:
Bob Jones University
Cedarville University
Jackson Hole Bible College
Liberty University
Northland International University
Ohio Christian University
Pensacola Christian College
Tennessee Temple University
Warner University
Read the list and Answers in Genesis (AiG) statement here. Phil Jones critiques the AiG statement here.
I expose the false assumptions of Young Earth Creationism in the following articles:
False Assumption #1: Genesis is history and should be read as a chronological account
False Assumption #2: The Genesis "begats" list the first people living on Earth
False Assumption #3: Bishop Ussher's timeline is reliable and can be used to calculate the age of the Earth
False Assumption #4: All the peoples of the Earth came from Noah’s three sons
False Assumption #5: Diversity of languages and skin color is the result of God’s judgment at the Tower of Babel

I wonder what happened to my Alma matter, Lee University (then College) in Cleveland TN?
The AiG guidelines could be lifted directly from the Teachings and Declaration of Faith of the Church of God.
Of course, like so many other groups, the CoG has diluted their concept of faith over the past twenty years.
Inquiring minds want to know...(I'm a retired Anflican priest now).
I left the Episcopal Church on the Sunday that Gene Robinson was consecrated and set aside order about 18 months later.
The imposition of the YEC assumptions upon the Biblical text creates a huge conflict with the findings of anthropology, linguistics, climate studies, geology, molecular genetics, and archaeology. YEC undermines the authority of the Bible, whereas the correspondence of the findings with the Genesis data supports the veracity of the text.
If you find out about your Alma mater, let me know! :)
