"I hesitate to suggest this for several reasons, but perhaps it's time to
discuss the ASA taking an official stance against YEC."
I was perusing the theology web site last night and was directed to the
following article:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/docs/v25n2_bullet.asp
It appears that their rhetoric is becoming fashionably more advanced and
appears to address some of the issues many have with them. If they indeed
begin to abandon more of the whimsical and far fetched arguments and also
encourage their 34,000 daily visitors to do so also, this won't hurt anyone.
It takes some guts to put out their (for everyone to recognize, not just
experts) that plenty of their previous arguments were bogus or incorrect.
The above article almost seems to emphasize the difference between
philosophy and science. I wonder if they've been reading Van Till or
others? Regardless, the most effective tool for an untrained layman isn't
to memorize a series of "science facts" to debate professor so and so. It
is really to challenge their worldview and get them considering the truth of
the cross. Regardless if you believe the earth is young or old, that is a
secondary issue to Christ, so let's focus on that!
