Bob's comment:
    Randy, I have found this to be the case in virtually every piece of YEC
literature I have read. Morris, Sr.'s writings are repleat with such
qualifiers; unfortunately, they get lost when the arguments are passed on to
listeners in pews and lecture halls. It is one of the things that is so
maddening about reading YEC literature, as I am reminding myself presently:
I am preparing to write an annotated essay on YEC.

To all of you, a request: what are the most salient points do you think one
should make in writing an essay that presents and then critiques the YEC
message? Such feedback would be most helpful
