Yeah. But not enough of us. We are too small a voice. And the trends are
all in the wrong direction.
Naomi Schaefer Riley, the author of "God on the Quad: How Religious
Colleges and the Missionary Generation Are Changing America," writes that
many in the next generation of Christian Americans
are more radically conservative (read -- YEC) than their parents. The

That seems to be the case in my family -- only 1 of my eight children
seems to share my more tolerant views. But then, I was pretty far to the
right when I was their age too. Like Glenn, I once gave the YEC arguments
some credibility. Like Glenn, I rejected that credibility after studying
them carefully.
Hopefully, my kids will mature as they enter their 40s.
