I can see your point of view on this, although I'm not in complete agreement with it.
For some people, this is most certainly the case and TEs are best equiped to share them the gospel with them. Some people are simply hurting and don't understand why they hurt if God is good. There are many different sorts of lost folks, just as there are many different sorts of Christians.
Perhaps, Jesus uses us all in different ways? (May be a bit of a relative view point, but I'm begining to see it this way.)
I'm not best equiped to minister to a person who is very scientificlly minded, as I am not. However, I am a survivor of abuse, and have helped women who have suffered the same way I did. We speak the same language, as you pionted out.
As to YEC's subjecting the scriptures to undue ridicule, I can see how a Christian evolutionist would come to this conclusion. As a creationist, we see that man's wisdom can come under flaw that God's wisdom is not subject to. I would also say that Jesus told us to expect to be rejected by the world.
That is what I was originally saying I thought TE's should do in the thread in the Creationist forum that started all of this.
I have a friend who is very scientificlly minded but open to the existance of an undefined god. I feel illequiped to whitness much further to him. I think he'd benefit a great deal from talking with a TEist. This was part of the original conversation. I would rather see him become a brother in Christ with a different theology than mine, than remain a nonbeliever.
