Thankfully, God isn't as judgemental on peoples' credential as you seem to be. He will use anyone who has a heart for Him and believes fully in his Word. Some, God gives the gift of teaching to via the Holy Spirit and I believe Chuck Missler is one of those (1 Corinthians 12 V 27-28) . I have listened to his teaching on some of the books of the Bible and never had a check in my spirit regarding anything I've heard from him.

I do judge people based on their credentials, because that's how I get some idea of how seriously to take them.
I watched the video I linked before I posted it. It is ridiculous on so many levels. The man was so busy trying to prove the ignorant atheists wrong he made a complete ass of himself.
As a general rule I'm not that interested in being lectured in life-sciences by someone who doesn't know the difference between abiogenesis and evolution.
I have watched / read various material positing a young Earth and it is without exception attempting to misuse science to supply a veneer of respectability to something that is demonstrably, and indeed repeatedly demonstrated to be wrong.
This is what happens when, rather than producing a theory and then following the scientific method to test it, one already has the conclusion and is trying to produce the evidence that, in their mind, leads to it.
The
Wikipedia entry on this man doesn't seem quite as flattering as the bio on his website, unsurprisingly.
This guy is a
proven plagiarist, in one case stealing 'new age' ideas to pass off as 'new Christian science', in another
stealing content verbatim from a critic, in both cases unattributed.
Still your call if you want to take such an obvious charlatan seriously. He strikes me as being no more believable than L. Ron Hubbard.
