I'm a YEC who believes we all get caught up in this argument way too much. I also understand I'm probably going to get reemed by everyone in here who seems to strongly dislike YEC's...I don't care if anyone wants to be a TE...as long as they are saved. I just want people to get saved, cause when we get to see the New Earth, the Old Earth's origins will no longer matter. I personally believe God wrote what he really did. That's just my opinion. I just tend to believe that it didn't take God billions of years to make man in His own image...He spoke and we rose. And I praise Him every day for it. |

That may be true for a lot of people, but it's not for me. I think YECism is such bad theology I don't want to see it taught in church either.

I've actually gotten a lot more out of the creation stories, spiritually, since I've been able to move away from the "literalist" reading and learn more about the science. In allegories, the symbolic truth is more important than any literal truth, and I find the symbolic truths present in those stories to be more illuminating, and to mesh well with the prehistoric record.

I think that is a common experience. It is like taking one's focus off of a few trees in the forest and beginning to experience the richness of the whole forest.

What other doctrine of the Bible do you not want taught in the Church? |

I do not consider YEC to be a doctrine of the bible, so your question is moot.
