Dave is perfectly fair. I long for the day when I can find a YEC who does
not falsify to such an extent that one can only conclude it is deliberate.
Can anyone name a YEcreationist book or a YEcreationist speaker who does not
falsify to such an extent that it must be deliberate.
In common parlance that is lying.
Regards
Michael
