any self-respecting ASAer :)

Man, that's some serious money I could make counseling people
(being a former YEC myself). But, if you can't afford counseling,
just throw up a web page! Or, better yet, do both! Then, your
web page will be really, really effective ;)

Because our website fully supports a historical Genesis. This takes
the Bible away from the YEC. A TE doesn't have much to say to a YEC.
A TE who believes the Bible is historical can kick some YbEuCtt (was
that subtle enough?)

You don't know what the people in our group are capable of.

Well, I've got money in the bank and this is my full-time mission.
If YEC is false, they don't really have God on their side. I find
the trick is to wait on God to provide the opportunities. I have many
stories I could tell, but this is neither the time nor the place.
Again, PLEASE no inquiries. Our most critical asset is our website.
It's maybe about 25% done. The content is 85% done. And, we are
becoming a non-profit org. And, we have a name and a URL. At least the
voting will be done by 8:00 Monday eastern. Thanks for your interest,
Michael - and if you want to be a leader, let me know. You don't have
to be part of our group. You just have to throw up a web page that we
can link to.
Jim
