And since YEC is thoroughly discredited by geologists, it is not what God's word means.
Not sure if you are Poeing YECs here (hi NathanUnless I'm missing something --- the parables were meant to be taken literally. They are stories about things that actually happened and, in my opinion, Jesus Himself witnessed.
You live in a fantasy world then, let's see where it gets you.
All this and Heaven too ---
Not sure if you are Poeing YECs here (hi Nathan) but I have heard this from YECs themselves. It really show how poor YECs are at understanding biblical metaphor, which destroys any claim they can tell Genesis has to be literal.
Heaven isn't a reality, you put hope in your starry heaven, I'll put hope in reality, reason and logic.All this and Heaven too ---
