When one is amazed by a charge it only shows how he does not realize how he
sounds to others.

I started out as an RC, became an agnostic and searcher, studied much and
became a theist/nominal Christian, then a committed Christian (when I read the
NT and had a mentor). I have never looked upon the Bible as literal and
,because of my innate nature, tend to be open about most subjects. I tend to be
skeptical of close- minded people who think they have have the right answers
and that others are oh so wrong. That includes ICR, AIG and Glenn Morton.

That is a totally unscientific reason and the same claim that YECs make about
you. Are you really having trouble seeing that?
