Creationists, what if you found out tomorrow . . .

[Vance]

I have asked this question before and got some very interesting answers, but since we have a lot of new YEC's here, I thought I would ask it again. This is a question specifically for Creationists, either old or young.

If you found out tomorrow, in a way that left NO DOUBT whatsoever, that the earth was billions of years old and that all the species on earth, including Man, evolved from a common ancestor, how would that effect your view of Scripture? How would it effect your faith?

If you found out tomorrow, in a way that left NO DOUBT whatsoever,

We do not know with "NO DOUBT whatsoever" that we even exist. Chances are our very existance if very different from the way we think that it is.

 

[Vance]

Now, John, play by the rules here. Assuming for the sake of argument that you were able to find this out without doubt.

Apparently CF thought I needed to post this twice. I respectfully disagree.

 

[Praxiteles]

YEC's don't "do" hypothetical. I can't work out whether it's because they're incapable, or whether they are afraid that to even accept a hypothetical situation is an admission of doubt or something.

The standard response is "I don't need to worry about that because it's not true."

It's a good thing you said that twice, I didn't pay attention the first time.

Of course, any utterance of mine is of such great import that one post is barely enough to contain it.

However, in respect of not filling up the screen with my glory alone, I have reduced it back to the once.

No Rob, he is trying to figuire out just how obstinant Creationists obstinant faith really is.

Your glory is blinding me Prax.

Can't say I didn't see that one coming.

And thank you for curbing your awesome presence to allow others to shine through. Your modesty is a model to which we all should aspire.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I should come with a health warning.

Predictability is a virtue.

All of this is, naturally, OT. (My raison d'être). I suppose that is keeping this thread bumped in case a real-life YECcie should stumble across it.

My raison d'être

Sorry, I don't speak Australian. (Yeah, I know it's French, Mr. language police)

But I think I get the gist of what you were saying.

What is that bear doing to her??

 

[Praxiteles]

What is that bear doing to her??

I could tell you, but I'd get warned (and possibly banned!!1!!one1!).

 

[Fear]

What's that reddish looking thing off to the left side? and what is the witch doing on her knees in front of frankenstein?

I never realized that the wizard of oz was such a heap of smut.
