I'm not convinced that there are enough evo-to-creo conversions to observe whether or not a trend exists.
Anybody can say, "I used to be an evo." but in most cases I think it's just a propaganda tactic.
I'm pretty much convinced of this as well - many of the "converted" never actually seem to have much of a clue about TOE. Moreover, I suspect a lot of them become creationists and think "well I guess that means I must have been an evolutionist before" without really having considering their position in any detail previously.
I'm reaching now - the most "convinced" are those who convert due to some traumatic experience - the youth earth stuff then becomes tied-up to the "solving" of that experience via conversation. Because if it's not all true, then maybe none of it's true and those "bad things" were real, could happen again etc etc.

Well I'm more specially refering to those who have one of those "touched by the spirit" moments later in life. I remember discussing TOE with one once and it was like I was swearing at them - they were shaking!

Re: How Is Evolution False?

Every new book increases the age of the earth.
There is never an exposure of over-stating the date, and REDUCING the age of the earth.
Why would they reduce the age if their advancing knowledge told them this was not the case? You argument seems to be that because they don't fall into line with your thinking and that of your christian godhead it must be wrong.

RAZD and his broad shoulders

Razd has broad shoulders and I'm sure can stand the shame. Let's see the "documentation" - I'll be very surprised if it's anything we have not seen before.
