Perhaps that's because OE theory 'works,' i.e. makes predictions
and yields results which are useful. OTOH I am unaware of any
YE theory that has yielded useful practical results. To me, this is
evidence that OE is basically the correct position - though there
may be many fine details still to be worked out. But then, I'm no
geologist. Perhaps you - or someone else - could give us some
details of how YE theories can actively be used in a practical
application? I read one book by a (Christian) geologist who pointed
out that almost without exception, the whole of the Flood Geology
edifice has been developed by armchair theorists who don't have to
live day by day with the consequences of what they preach. Is this a
fair comment?
