Adam, Christian theology says this:
¹³Do not have two differing weights in your bag — one heavy, one light. ¹⁴Do not have two differing measures in your house — one large, one small. ¹⁵You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lᴏʀᴅ your God is giving you. ¹⁶For the Lᴏʀᴅ your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Any creation model, any interpretation of Genesis 1, any challenge to the scientific consensus on the age of the earth or evolution, must obey those verses, for the simple reason that not obeying those verses is, by definition, lying. YEC does not obey those verses and I have already given numerous examples why which you have not even attempted to address.
It all boils down to one thing, Adam. If you are going to claim to be doing science, you must make sure your facts are straight. “Following Darwin” has nothing to do with it.
