Practical problems with YEC

[St.Roymond]

@T_aquaticus

AiG and other YEC’s are ignoring the evidence, and they even say as much in their statement of faith

And that is a crime because?

It’s a crime because they claim to be honest.
That they also claim to follow the historical-grammatical method but do not also shows that they are not honest.

@RichardG

You do not even show tollerance.

Why should we show tolerance to those who lie in the name of faith?

@T_aquaticus

Do facts even exist in your world?

Not as far as I can tell.

@RichardG

It is not about truth, or fact, or right. it is about prioritising one type of data (fact) over another.

That’s the lie they’re peddling – and it is in violation of basic morality.

@RichardG

@T_aquaticus

YECs claim they are using the same facts I am using.

Actually not.

Actually yes – and you have said so here.

@adamjedgar

Measurments in a laboratory?

Uniformatarianism

Yes, uniformitarianism – otherwise called “the faithfulness of God”. The only alternative to uniformitarianism is making God out to be a liar.

@adamjedgar

attack YEC with the “it aint science”, the more they lead people away from God.

I attack YEC because it drives people from God, especially young Christians.
And because prominent YECists are self-demonstrated liars.

@adamjedgar

These individuals are hanging onto a faith that has no scientific support for a large part of its narrative…particularly its ending in Revelation 21

Why do you insist on using science to measure scripture???

@adamjedgar

again…answer the following dilemmas…actually quote and address them directly ( i will continue posting them until someone does)

Christ raising a rotting corpse from the grave
Christ sending demons into pigs who ran down imto the sea and drowned themselves
The prophet Elijah calling fire down from heaven completely obliterrating two altars and the offerings on them
Elisha striking the water of a river causing it to part allowing him to walk across on dry land
The apostle Peter scolding two indviduals who lied to him, both individuals immediately dropping dead in front of him
The temple curtain being torn from top to bottom whwn Christ died on the cross
A huge earthquake strikes and dead corpses come back to life when Christ dies on the cross…those individuals then walk back into the city to their families and friends.
The apostle Peter walks on water
Christ, a mere man, says that he will return in the sky with power and great glory and every eye shall see him!

Do you you realize how stupid and foolish you make Christianity look when you ask for scientific answer to things that scientists know science can’t measure?
Your questions would only be relevant if:

1. You had a time machine
2. You had a Divinometer.
3. You took a load of scientists with that Divinometer and all the other instruments they wanted along back to the events you cite.

@adamjedgar

you propose that the flood never happened

I propose a global flood never happened because scripture does not claim it – only tradition does, and that is the result of a shift of meaning across languages.
