    Hi Tom,

    Sadly, the YECs on this list appear incapable of having open, fair-minded
    discussions. Even an omnipotent Lord and Savior cannot (and will not!)
    force people to have fair-minded discussions. People are going to do
    what they please. My impression of the Bible is that it says things like
    "let people follow their own paths." I realize that is not a thoroughly
    "fleshed out" statement. But I'm not sure if this group wants to pursue
    that discussion further, anyway.

    I don't remember, at any point, "detecting errors embedded" in the Bible.

    I feel that science has "humiliated" the YEC position. Personally, I was
    willing to look for other interpretations of Genesis. I "landed" on
    day-age.
