    Allen, you forget that I used to be a YEC, a publishing YEC. I will put my
    life history in evidence as proof that I listen to both sides. I spent the
    first 44 years of my life as a YEC. I didn't change to my present views
    without critically examining the evidence. Where is the evidence that you
    consider the other side of the arguement?

      Allen, why is it not possible that I was faced with the false
    interpretations of the religious philosophy of YECism? Have you ever
    considered that YEC acts like a cult, not wanting their members to read
    dissenting opinions--like scientific journals?
