I would like to poll the members here, to come to a judgement on who is coming to the correct conclusions at the Talk Origins board "Grand Canyon" topic, the first page of which is located here.
Terry seems to be firm in his conclusion that the "new information" indicates that the entire Grand Canyon is much younger (700,000 years?), that what was previously thought.
Me and my ally CSkeptic are of the opinion that the "new information" only concerns portions of the Grand Canyon, and makes no statement about the age of the canyon as a whole.
{Added by edit: Please note - I am looking for a judgement of your opinions on what the "new information" of that topic means. I am not looking for a statement of personal beliefs. (Example: Terry is a YEC, but his is arguing a position that falls outside of the YEC framework. He is interpreting what the "new information" says, aside from his personal young earth beliefs).}
Please respond with:
1) Terry's right
2) Moose's right
or
3) Don't know / no opinion
Also please list your position in the creation/evolution debate:
1) Young Earth Creationist
2) Old Earth Creationist
3) Evolutionist
or
4) Other (specify)
Thank you,
Moose
Also by edit: I hope I've succeded in presenting this poll in an unbiased way.

2) & 3) respectively.
The problem isn't your data or argument, it's Terry's Demon, he will not concede.

2 & 3.
I thought Terry had given up because it was a "waste of time".

2 & 3
You're not actually having a discussion. Terry makes a good point when he says that geologists are moving closer to his point of view by assigning a younger age to Marble Canyon, but he's simply refused to address the issue that this is still far older than his YEC views allow, or the issue that it doesn't affect the age for the rest of the GC. He has also set himself up as both debater and judge of the debate when he unilaterally declares your posts a waste of time and exits.
Terry is fun to watch because of his silly antics, but you can't really have a meaningful discussion with him. And you certainly won't corner him, not in his own lair. You'll be banned for high crimes and misdemeanors first.

Percy,
It appears the messages went from 3 to 5. Did something happen to message 4 ?

I noticed that gap yesterday. I was hoping that no message gaps would show up. That opens up the possibility of administrative meddling.
Between my having added an (early) edit to the first message, and that gap, this poll is probably terminally flawed.
