And with that, I must refrain from going any further down this path as it would be dishonest of me to not make note that we are FAR off topic. Faiths delusions about science do not have a damn thing to do with the OP and we have spent far to many messages discussing it. Apologies for my part in it. I am confident that onlookers can see any point I was making from what is already posted.

Re: Science meets Faith
Yes, I have the nerve to think everybody's wrong about speciation, and again it's the real thing I'm talking about, not the word. It describes the situation of a small population's splitting off from a larger population to form a new variety of creature, which is called a new "Species" because it cannot interbreed with its former population. That's an artificial and meaningless criterion.
Given that you speak for ALL young earth creationists, how do you explain your vehement disagreement with 2 of the most predominant young earth creationist organizations? Are you going to say that they aren't true creationists? AIG and CMI have far more impact than you and a much louder voice in creationism, don't you suppose you ought to correct them?

Re: Science meets Faith
Not when you say YOUR opinions are representative of ALL creationists. You make yourself out to be THE voice for YEC's. You accused me "refusing to understand creationists" because I attributed standard creationist rationale to you. Well, I didn't. You simply have different views than most creationists. Even the biggest groups.
So, again, which is it? Are CMI and AIG not true young earthers and need your corrections?

Re: Science meets Faith
Here are just a few shining examples:
Message 59
Sorry, I disagree with you. 90% of Dr. A's Geology is presented without the Old Earth concept and is fine with a YEC.
Message 65
Fact remains: 90% or more of the actual work done in the sciences is perfectly acceptable to a YEC.
Message 82
Funny, it's simply fact. YECs have no problem with real science, true science, useful science, although you dislike the fact intensely.
Message 114
YECs have NEVER had a problem with "microevolution," we can SEE it after all
Yea, Faith. You have used words in such a manner as to represent ALL young earth creationists. Words have meanings and common usages and if you wish to communicate properly and effectively, you have to use those words in an accepted fashion and not just make shit up. Now that you disagree with most of them, you are trying to backtrack. Good god you are a dishonest one.
I even called you out on it earlier, before it was pointed out that you disagreed with AIG and CMI and you didn't object.
Message 83 and Message 85
You can't even agree with the few YEC's here, on EvC, yet you think you are THE representative for all YEC's?
There haven't been any other YECs posting here for some time. The current crop of other Creationists are not YECs.
