My biggest objection against most Christian doctrine, and one of the main reasons I do not attend church. Science and common sense has debunked the 7 actual day theory over and over again. Tons of evidence debunk the 6000 year old theory. Creation and evolution could live in peace if the religious community would accept facts. My personal belief is that a creator established the conditions on this planet and possibly millions of others in the universe, the conditions that allow evolution to develop into intelligent life.

They are creationsists and believe that Adam and Eve were real people and the earth is only 6 thousands years or so old. I attended an SDA church a few times as I live near one and was interested to know what they believe. There are similarities to Jehovah's Witnesses when it comes to being millenialist and what happens after death, but when it comes to Jesus the SDA are closer to the christian religions as they pray to Jesus

Affirmations
As a result of the two international conferences and the seven division conferences, the Organizing Committee reports the following affirmations:
We affirm the primacy of Scripture in the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of origins.
We affirm the historic Seventh-day Adventist understanding of Genesis 1 that life on earth was created in six literal days and is of recent origin.
We affirm the biblical account of the Fall resulting in death and evil.
We affirm the biblical account of a catastrophic Flood, an act of God’s judgment that affected the whole planet, as an important key to understanding earth history.
We affirm that our limited understanding of origins calls for humility and that further exploration into these questions brings us closer to deep and wonderful mysteries.
We affirm the interlocking nature of the doctrine of creation with other Seventh-day Adventist doctrines.
We affirm that in spite of its fallenness nature is a witness to the Creator.
We affirm Seventh-day Adventist scientists in their endeavors to understand the Creator’s handiwork through the methodologies of their disciplines.
We affirm Seventh-day Adventist theologians in their efforts to explore and articulate the content of revelation.
We affirm Seventh-day Adventist educators in their pivotal ministry to the children and youth of the church.
We affirm that the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church identified in Revelation 14:6, 7 includes a call to worship God as Creator of all.

Yes, it looks like they're wrong - they deny known scientific facts. But then again, dont most american christian denominations do the same?
