Re: Objective and subjective observations in our debate
YEC argument requires that the statement that "The Bible is true" be true.
​
quote:
I think most YECers disagree with that statement and think science alone can verify their theory.
​
I disagree.
​
The statement of faith of the two largest YEC organizations, Answers in Genesis and The Institute for Creation Research, clearly state that the Bible is inerrant and in any case where science seems to contradict the Bible, science is considered wrong.

Re: Objective and subjective observations in our debate

First, I am saying it is reasonable to think the Bible is true if you have valid personal experiences to think that.
​
Then you must believe that any belief is valid if a person had a valid personal experience.
​
Do you believe that it is reasonable to believe that one has been abducted by aliens and probed in one's nether regions if one believes one has had a "valid personal experience?"
