Suppose a YEC thinks they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, if they reject YEC as a creation myth?I do think scientists are quite conservative about what they admit into the body of "knowledge". Sometimes overly so.
But I think most of them are rather sensible about how we should regard all the worlds various creation myths.
For anyone committed to the Bible, I think they should accept YEC as a creation myth.Suppose a YEC thinks they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, if they reject YEC as a creation myth?
Does that work the other way around?For anyone committed to the Bible, I think they should accept YEC as a creation myth.
I think thats for each person according to their conscience, or how they are drawn to believe.Does that work the other way around?
Do you think that anyone who accepts YEC as a creation myth should be committed to the Bible?
What's holding you back (if I may ask)?I mean I accept YEC as a creation myth, but I'm not a Christian.
Dont find anything to convince me that God or anything supernatural generally is real.What's holding you back (if I may ask)?

Nor am I convinced theyre not real. Its just all in the category of great unknowns.
IOW: the meaning they hold for 'reality', is based on belief.Keep in mind that all these churches and holidays and whatnot aren't just people acting out their fantasies.
There really is Someone "out there" waiting to take your call.
That is correct.IOW: the meaning they hold for 'reality', is based on belief.
Oh for sure the devotees of the various religions are really there for something important and meaningful and real. I just cant tell exactly what the real thing is. An internal experience? An actual supernatural being?Thanks for an honest answer.

Okie dokie.Oh for sure the devotees of the various religions are really there for something important and meaningful and real. I just cant tell exactly what the real thing is. An internal experience? An actual supernatural being?
The evidence from earth sciences points to a 4 billion year old earth. There is zero evidence for a 6-10 to thousand year old earth. I don't think that the creator deity wanted to confuse us.Suppose a YEC thinks they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, if they reject YEC as a creation myth?
I agree.I don't think that the creator deity wanted to confuse us.
I agree.
Thus He DETAILED what He did, when He did it, where He did it, how He did it, why He did it, what order He did it in, how long it took Him to do it, why it took Him that long, and who the eyewitnesses were.
Did you hear that in science class? history? comparative religion? philosophy?Sorry, last I heard, Christian tradition held that Moses, not God, wrote Genesis.

I'm sure atheist school teaches that, but in which of its classes?
In case you're interested, Moses edited the book of Genesis;* he didn't write it.I was told that by Christians. https://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c021.html

* Under purview of the Holy Ghost, of course.
Would it matter if it did or not?And what part of the Bible says this, hmm?
Would it matter if it did or not?
(That's a serious question. Would it matter if that was an expressed truth in plain text? or if it was an implied truth by comparing spiritual things with spiritual?)
After all, you said the last you heard, Christian tradition held that Moses, not God, wrote Genesis.
And apparently you accepted that as being correct.
Now it looks like you want me to do the same, and I'm not going to.
Instead, I'm going to use the Tablet Theory to disagree with some offbeat Christian tradition.
(And if you want to continue to press the issue, let's just say God wrote it and be done with it.)
