Re: [asa] Creationism Conference

"What would
you call those who trample the truth, push their own agenda and get paid
for it, and attribute it all to God?"

See, this is what I am talking about. Most YECists that I know are not like
this. They are honestly trying to understand Truth. They have a high
regard for scripture, and place their interpretation of it above anything
else. Most don't do it for personal gain, and most are honestly seeking
truth.

Unfortunately they have a lot of influence, and also unfortunately they are
wrong. But I don't think that most of them have illicit motives.
