They’re not open for open discussion and dialog…
YECs think that radioactive nuclide half-lives can change willy-nilly – they ignore this:
They also cannot comprehend this, apparently, about extinct radioactive atoms (it is not about radiometric dating):

They also think that the physical laws and constants are so finely tuned for human life that changing them just a little tiny bit will destroy all life in the cosmos. And yet, they see nothing wrong with radically changing the constants for nuclear forces in order to get different decay rates (not to mention other changes, like the speed of light). Go figure.

No, and they have big spats with fellow creationists.
Despite all its “research” into BioLogos writers, AIG doesn’t seem to realize that agnostic philosopher of science Michael Ruse once wrote a series of articles for BioLogos. Ruse believes that Christianity and science are compatible. I recall that all these militant atheists come over and attacked him in the comments!

Well, Randy, they noticed and I guess I have you to thank for my lifelong goal of being quoted by AIG. 
I definitely did not intend my informal forum post to be construed as some sort of official BioLogos response to AIG, but other places don’t always distinguish between conversation on the forum and published articles that have gone through an editorial process. Oh well, what can you do.

I’m just looking forward to when I can tell people , “ hey I know that heretic from BL I talked to her before.” Lol. There will be an AIG post about “ cockatoo or serpent and when the animal last talked” lol.
I remembered that like a year ago someone on a AIG based Facebook group called me a Franklinknight and after a few times I asked them and they said that they were Christians becsuse they followed Christ and I was a Franklinknight because I follow Franklin and I was like whose Franklin and they were confusing Francis Collins for Franklin lol.

The venom is absolutely amazing. I may just need to disappear for a while (how long would that be???). I have found Biologos such a refuge of sanity, particularly the podcasts and videos during lock down, and many of the discussions are really encouraging for this lit and language liberal arts person, who respects science but only has a (very old) robust high school and under grad background. Having all this AIG poison coming over here is more than I want to deal with right now. I don’t want to be in the frying pan or the fire right now. Just hang out with folks I can learn from and engage with in an encouraging way.
Reading the latest attacks from AIG just keeps the wounds bleeding. Wow.
Really this reply is so much to you, beaglelady, but rather the whole thread and related ones. Just ugh.

I have to break every now and then too. It will settle down so don’t stay away. Except for the drive-by shootings, it is not a bad neighborhood.

Drive by shootings is exactly what this lookslike.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Part 3 of the Joel Edmund Anderson response has been posted:
I hope Biologos has secured movie rights to this feud.
These types of comments and the 8 likes (so far) are a big part of why critically thinking Christians fail to take any organization like this one in a serious fashion. You commit a false analogy fallacy by comparing interpretation of scientific data with a scientific law, a branch of physics, a table of scientific data, and a branch of mathematics. Then you use another fallacy to insult a group of Christians by falsely accusing them of belonging to a cult.
What does this have to do with the topic?
