I don't want to ride that merry-go-round again either. I would want to
point out that from my experience as a young-earth creationist the very fact
that you want to say that Genesis is not accurate history is exactly why
they run from your position. Whether your position is correct or not is a
totally different issue. YECs don't view your position as friendly to the
Scripture and thus will not entertain it.
At this point I'm simply pointing

On this we can fully agree.
