RE: [asa] Best Way to Approach YECs?

Hi Paul, you wrote:

>>Since YECs believe that God's Word trumps God's works every time, the only
approach that would have a chance of succeeding in getting YECs to consider
the possibility of OEC would be to demonstrate that the Bible can be
interpreted to support OEC, and that I should focus on this approach for the
syllabus.<<

Feel free to use my PSCF article, "Young-Earth Creationism: A Literal
Mistake" on my web site. I think it is important to show what can be
possible while taking away the impossibilites. The global flood is the
"Achilles Heel" of creationism. They need it to sequence the fossil record.
A local, historical flood in Mesopotamia does the YEC cause no good. So
just as the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, we should follow the
example and give them something they can hold on to while you remove their
binkies and tug at their security blankets.
