The Missed Point

I would classify a lie as a statement that the person making it knows or should reasonably be expected to know to be false. Hence false statements about science made by trained scientists would be lies, when those made by people with no scientific background who lack the skills and expertise to check would just be ignorance.

Lies are intentionally false statement the person knows are false. That is an extremely serous accusation. If you are so polarized that you feel the need to make up your own language just so you can label those who disagree with you as liars, let me know when your dictionary comes out.

Snelling and grand canyon cracks,

You were grotesquely wrong on Mother Theresa. What is the evidence for Snelling? As I responded to Bill in private message, accusations of lying sometimes are true and sometimes they are just repeated stories. I’m not that interested in this issue but take exception to labeling YECs liars. Incorrect is a more gracious word choice.

Is the link above an incorrect assessment of Snelling? Was he actually hiding cracks with a picture? I have never spoken to the man or his team. Have you? What is the actual evidence besides regurgitated anecdotes online? I am sure there are charlatans out there. But without any real statistics, anecdotes don’t justify you in calling some thing a YEC lie as you did (carte blanche).
