Just my opinion...but...had to say it.
P.S. There. Now no Christian can ever say non-Christians don't stand up for Christians. XP
I wasn't making fun of creationists. I was being weird.
Lighten up tree.

I was hoping you'd rip my appallingly written Creationist post apart, but ah well... 
You know, I was about to say....
You gave a very intelligent POV regarding the Bible over in the General Apologetics forum; I was about to comment here about the weird Jekyll/Hyde thing you had going...  |

I wasn't angry until I read the Catholic part. The blood in my veins just stopped foaming.

Granted, but YECs that sound like the OP tend to drown out the rest.

Is that to say that there are any young-Earth creationists with any scientific (as opposed to personal) objections to evolution? Are there any YEC claims that hold any weight? Are there any YEC's who can accurately describe the theory of evolution which they hate so much, or do they only have misconceptions and strawmen? |

Sorry, tyreth, but aside from being a little less coherent than some, the OP is a pretty good picture of what most YEC's DO say. This is because, at root, YECs have no evidence which they can use to support their cause. Sad, but true. |

That's okay, Arthur. Most "evolutionists" find creationists - ignorant, untruthful, arrogant - pretty sickening, too. | | |
