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?
