Re: [asa] Re: [asa] YEC--What can we offer them?

Hello Wayne,
   
  Please excuse what may seem like an impertinent answer, but it would help me about what to say in response to your question if you would first say what you know about evolutionary and neo-evolutionary social science. It has been my experience at ASA that many people disregard the relevance of evolution outside of natural sciences, that is, except when they have allied it with their theology. So it might be counter-productive or even just a waste of time to try to open a rather large discussion about 'social evolution' or 'cultural evolution' that no one at ASA really wants to have. And surely it does not belong in a YEC-What can we offer them?' thread.
   
  Thanks,
  Gregory

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here by "getting
it backwards". Maybe you could elaborate on what you
mean.
