Yec/Not Yec? - A "let's keep it short topic"

If that is what Randman means then he is adhering to a view which is anathema to many YECs - that the evidence of the Earth should be taken into account when interpreting the Bible. And he is claiming that that evidence is so strongly against YEC that it is slanderous to call someone a YEC if they are not.r

According to you YEC is not a respectable position since you regard it as slander to be called a YEC. Moreover my statement is conditional on the idea that you agree with the view expressed in the OP which holds that YEC is only a respectable view if you do not look at evidence outside the Bible. If you do not hold such a view you need to explain why you regard YECs as so disreputable that it is slander to suggest that you are one.Thus since it is "Biblically respectable" you must rule it out on some other grounds - and you must consider these grounds sufficiently strong that you are insulted by the very idea that you could beleive it.And of course the obvious grounds are the empirical evidence of the Earth.o

Wrong. It is your attempt at slander, as I make clear. I have frequently make known I am not a YECer, but you insisted otherwise, purposefully misrepresenting me as something you deride. That's slander.

First, since I did not say that you were a YEC it cannopt be "my slander" as you claim. But by calling it slander you indicate that you also regard YEC with derision.

No, once again I will explain to you my position, now 3 times inone day (but I don't doubt you will continue to misrepresent me continually because it appears part of your nature, but I'd love to be surprised. Imo, the Bible is not specific enough to rule out on it'sown YEC, OEC, ID, or theistic evolution.

Since I have not contradicted that statement the only misrepresentation here is yours. Also you are indulging in slander by making false accusations of misrepresentation.But that is YOUR nature.Y

Obivously you feel that you are entitled to engage in misrepresentation and slander since you offer no apology. Which simply confirms my assessment of your nature.I would add that if you hold that YEC s a respectable view you should also hold that it is not slander to be called a YEC - even if it is not true. Simply point out that your view is being misrepresented and have done with it.i

It also doesn't change the fact that you chose to misrepresent me, make false accusations and label my post "idiocy" for no good reason. And that you apparently see nothing wrong with those actions.
