Is YEC science? Is is even really a theory?

In other words your only claim to validity of your chosen method of Adam and Eve getting basic upbringing is simply that imprinting was the best one you could think of ?

So much for sensus plenior.....

All right. Better explanation.

I think they had an unmentioned companion, a talking kangaroo, that thought them the basics.

We both have great explanations then. Perhaps we want to ask other people if they have even more explanations ?

This dreaming up stuff that the Bible actually says is great. Probably why there are somewhere around 40000 Christian denominations.
Anything else you need help with?

Such as Judas hanging himself, yet the rope breaking and he falling "headlong", which educatees say couldn't have happened?

Not really. You have shown you have no basis whatsoever for your silly claims and if needed I can dream up fantasy answers and call them sensus plenior if I need to without any justification or logic just like you do.

Of course it is futile and pointless device to use in arguments but whatever rocks your boat I guess.

Don't misrepresent the facts, AV. What you could say, or better should say, is that SOME educators say this or that couldn't have happened (like needless specifics of Judas' case which don't matter much since the dude died either way).

Quit worrying about and hyper-focusing on those "academics" who are the most critical. Academic criticism doesn't erase some aspect of history simply because strong critics say so. What they say might revise how we think about it, but it doesn't necessarily remove it.

Better yet. Where history and archaeology are concerned:

How about: NOMAX. That has a ring to it, and it's easy to remember! (Hey, I just made a word! Yay for me!)

Don't worry--they'll know what you mean when you use it. Or at least the educated ones will.

Theistic evolution didn't happen because another method was used: creationism.

If someone writes that he bought a blue car, then anyone who says his car is red is wrong.
Theistic evolution is a christian belief

YEC is a christian belief

There are ~40,000 christian denominations with many conflicting beliefs.

Believe whatever you want.

How's about one for the dark
side of religiosity? There's
Inquisitiors but that's dated.

Let's see. What can I come up with? 'll have to think harder about that one ...

"Minimalists"?
"Gaians" comes close.

But I still prefer "academians" (or "educatees") for Occam razor's sake.

People that are whip-smart and can split infinitives at a Lorentz' length.

But don't know Job from a plant food spike.

I think you should occam Occam's Razor, at least from time to time anyway.

Otherwise, you may end up torpedoing those in your own "family." And that wouldn't be a good thing to do.

But if you like "Gaians" rather than "NOMAX," then be my guest. I guess it does have a sort of 'earthy' tone to it.

As for me, I'd like it if you call me "IMAX"------------because it just sounds awesome! :ahah:

If AV1611VET has always defined “Embedded Age Creationism” as “Maturity without History”, than his EAC doesn’t describe the real world.
It also makes God out to be less than honest.

The thing is, Embedded Age is not documented anywhere. It's totally a made up.
Peter made it up, did he?

2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Notice he says they (end-times scoffers) are willingly ignorant?

Was any of this junk time stamped? or is this another The-Pharaohs-Say-Your-Bible-Is-Wrong point?
Still sulking over the pharaohs I see.
It must be disconcerting that;
(1) These pesky pharaohs were still building pyramids when they should have been wiped out by the great flood.
(2) By your own admission Thutmose I had the audacity of dying in 1482 BC when he should have died in 1491 BC as a victim of drowning according to Exodus.
(3) How dare Shishak a pharaoh be the first historically attested person in the Old Testament instead of Abraham, Moses, Noah etc.
(4) What about that ratfink the pharaoh Akhenaton being the first recorded individual to dabble in monotheism instead of Abraham.
