Several people ive been talking too say that there is a very small subset of people that have a YEC world vew So I made this poll to see if they are true. Please vote before you post.
Thanks

How does making a poll on a website like this demonstrate the validity or lack thereof of the statement you are examining? It's quite an unscientific approach considering the nature of the sample population. It's also not likely representative of what the person who made that claim meant. And it's been done here many times before.

There are other considerations such as YECists who don't post in this forum, either because they isolate themselves in the CO area or just don't bother with the topic. There was a poll on this subject in the Official Polls area that might give you a better idea of how people on the website as a whole are positioned on the subject (and YEC was in the minority, IIRC) considering it had a much larger sample. But even in this forum, you'll likely only validate the claim that YEC is a minority view, in any case.

It is always open season on YEC's on this forum. Shoot first, ask questions later.
Yes, YECs are so persecuted. :rolleyes: Maybe there aren't many around because they generally (not all of them do this) just copy and paste from Dr. Dino and run when their arguments have been refuted for the upteenth time.

Pretty much. I've been here for a couple years and have seen a lot of YECs roll through the forum. Unfortunately, most don't stick around because, as you've said, they get refuted eight ways from Sunday.

Evolution is not equal to atheism. No matter how many times you repeat it, the two will never be equivalent. Have you read Darwin yet?

There is a difference between 'young earth creationist' and 'basing things on a spiritual aspect which is beyond science'.
