From another thread:
Perhaps more significantly, even the YECist general public can't agree with each other about the "science" taught to them by creation scientists. Here are the results of a poll on the creationism forum, after 1 week of voting:
a. "No animal death or predation pre-fall" - 62.5%
b. "Nephesh vs. non-nephesh animals" - 25%
c. "Catastrophic plate tectonics during flood" - 62.5%
d. "Dinosaurs went on ark; became extinct after" - 75%
e. " Ice Age 4500 years ago, after flood" - 62.5%
f. " Homo erectus were humans, descended from Adam" - 62.5%
g. " Gravitational time dilation in creation week/white hole cosmology" - 0% (!!!)
These figures are based on the people who actually voted... goodness knows how many people didn't vote at all because they disagreed with all of the propositions...
I take it this means that the layman YECist doesn't trust creation science? If yes, this begs the question -- what on earth is the point of creation science? If die-hard creationists can't even be convinced on scientific grounds that the earth is 6000 years old, why do they even bother trying?
Perhaps creation scientists should just pack up shop, close down their "journals", leave their "conferences" and go home.
