I send Hugh Ross much more than emails of support, I send him money
too.

I bought Haywards book when it came out and liked it and
hoped it would be
read. It looks as though it has. Being a geologist I
could work out why
Flood Geology was nonsense of the worst kind, but many
of the YEC are not
clear to non-specialists. A chemist dos not always
understand basic geology.
I have long felt that any Christian arguing for
an old earth is a good
thing, even if some of their arguments are a bit
inadequate. In fact an old
earth anti-YEC anti-evolutionist is going to
do more damage to YEC than a TE
like me who is an Anglican and well
tinged (in their eyes) with woolly
liberalism. However if they said I was
liberal theologically they would be
lying, though of course fine
Christian YECs would never do that, as I am
sure Glenn and Wally would
agree with me.
Hence the sheer vitriol which the ever-loving, kind,
compassionate,
Christian exemplars at AIG pour on poor old Hugh Ross.
Consider the nonsense
and vitriol on his cartoon of Archbishop Ussher,
which is funny and no worse
than any other cartoon I have seen - whether
Blair covered in whitewash
after the Hutton report (UK judicial inquiry
on the Iraq War BBC allegations
etc) 19th cent cartoons of darwin or
Wilberforce. They are all cruel and
funny.
I think Ross's biggest
crime is that he rejects evolution but accepts an old
earth - sorry
universe. Perhaps we should send him e-mails of
support.
Michael
