Thanks, Percy,
Geology being my greatest weakness on this post, I’d like to address Darwin Storm
The Bible has been awe-inspiring to many creationists on all levels. The inspiration ‘blows them away’ into ‘otherworldliness’ if you will. It has filled them with so much amiableness and contentment that they cannot bear to go against the ‘perceived’ commandments. Being ‘human’ and prone to error, they may not ‘rightly divide the word of truth’. Yet, they will not believe the Word is false in any way, despite what any skeptic may say. Again, because they’ve been ‘born again’, thus.

Parables seem to be a common approach in teaching morality. Jesus was said to have used them frequently himself. So why do creationists so ardently defend a literal interpretation of a text that was written without the benefits of modern science?
Benefits of modern science (falsely so-called) is often misconstrued as ‘secular humanism’, which is diametrically opposed to the Bible (throughout). Many texts relate to other texts in different ways which science can not approach by observation.
Science is abused by ‘mutant-life’ vocalists, without their even knowing it.
Now when science proves Creation as Written, creationists become ecstatic, their faith becomes proven. When ‘science’ disproves Creation (which it never does), what biblical creationist in his right mind wants to delve into such sorrow?
