BUZSAW IS NOT A YEC AND NEVER EVER ARGUED ANYTHING FROM A YEC POSITION.
In your own Belief Statement thread, Message 7, you said to me:
quote:
The difference is that I only have the creatures as young whereas YEC's generally have the whole universe as young.
There may be a technical difference between an old earth with young creatures and a young earth with young creatures. For practical purposes, though, you might as well be a YEC, since you reject the bulk of scientific evidence.
The difference between you and a YEC doesn't seem to be any more significant than the difference between a YEC who believes in the Paluxy footprints and a YEC who doesn't.

I am a YCC (Young creature creationist) but not a YEC.
As I said, there is no practical difference. When you ignore some of the evidence, it doesn't matter which evidence you ignore. You can't get the right answer.
You deny the number 2. YECs deny the number 3. Either way, you can't get the right answer for 2 + 3.
For practical purposes, YEC = YCC. The Y is simply wrong.

Repeating a falsehood does not make it so.
So stop repeating falsehoods about young creatures.
Your falsehoods are so similar to the YECs' falsehoods that there is no practical difference. What's the practical difference between the guy who thinks he's Napoleon and the guy who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt? Delusion is delusion.
