Could asteroids lead to the extinction of YECism ?

I am sure you know the answer to this question is no. There is no fact, however blatantly obvious and however contrary to the description in Genesis, that a YEC cannot deny, explain away, or claim to be instead evidence in support of his beliefs.Evidence that Genesis 1 and are not a description of our origins is available almost everywhere we look. This has been the state of things for over 350 years. A lot of it was turned up by Christians doing astronomy, geology, biology, etc. None of it convinces that special believer in the literal Bible worship that is the essence of the YEC.Maintaining belief in the face of the evidence is itself a merit badge for some of the faithful. Some YECs, (not going to name you, DT, Z, MS) come here just to earn such credit. But for most YECs, Creation science is just a lark.And if nothing else works, YEC can recite the following before praying for those people with Fallen brains:

---

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

or Job 5:13, or Proverbs 14:8, or 1 Corinthians 1:20, or James 3:15:

James 3:15

​

Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

That is exactly what you do all of the time, and in the past you have acknowledged doing so. Despite knowing diddly squat about thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, or anything else relevant to geology, you swear that you can date geological features and rocks regardless of whether you have even seen or touched them. Then you call that nonsense process of making up crap - "interpretation".No scientist has any more hubris than that.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Don't be ridiculous. Who observed the Grand Canyon forming or Adam being formed from dust or the creation of the moon and the lesser lights.You argue that materialistic evidence supports your position on those things all the time.Further you don't require observation before you spout silly stuff anyway.Every time we look at Alpha Centauri we are observing how it appeared 4.3 years ago. That is from the observable and knowable past. And when we view the andromeda galaxy, we are viewing directly the state of that galaxy 2.5 million years ago. Not unobservable in any sense.You can 'interpret' that stuff to conform to a 6000 year old universe only because you don' t have any ability to check your work.

Exactly, Exactly. Therefore scientific experiments which provide a more detailed picture of the Big Bang have no Biblical implications, because they deal with an issue that is of no concern of the Bible.I knew we'd agree on something.

2A. The Bible actually makes no attempt to teach about those things.
