Once again we get the "Johnny's dad lets him go to the party" type of
argument. Are we justified in not handling observational data correctly if
the evolutionist doesn't? What kind of logic is that? As I mentioned
earlier, Christians are called to a higher standard than the non-christian
is, yet you seem quite content if we Christians act like the non-christian.

Both supported by many Christians, and by the way, the flat earth and
geocentrism were concepts from before the scientific age.

At least as much? I don't believe that you really mean that you believe
science as much as YEC. What scientific fact do you believe as much as YEC?
