For SHEILA::
YEC= Young Earth Creation(ist)
ICR= Institute for Creation research
ASA= American Scientific Affiliation
GLENN MORTON is not an acronym. Just an oil man.
:-)
It is an accronym for a football play where the QB tells the RE what to do:
Go Left, East, Now North, Move Over Right, Turn Out Now!

I distinguish their ideas and beliefs not them. At least I haven't told any
of them that they are liars. Liars seems to be a word directed to an
individual, not an organization.

Walter, George's category 3 are Day Age people. They believe in an old earth
and thus are not YECs. One can hardly be YEC and believe in an old earth.
Occasionally, one like Allen or my good friend, Art Chadwick comes along who
believe in an old universe and young-earth. But the young-earth belief
makes them YECs
" Category 3 corresponds to Christians who have relatively sensible
ideas about
creation & evolution. Perhaps some of their views are unsophisticated
(e.g., day-age
schemes to "reconcile" Genesis 1 & evolution) but there is no urgency about
correcting
them." From George's post.

Calling their leaders 'liars' will not endear you to them.
