You know, I’m pretty silent on these Creationist threads that GGG posts (even though I’m part of his ping list). I personally am an Old Earth Creationist / ID’er ... though I understand that it doesn’t matter one iota as to my relationship with my Maker as long as I put my trust in Him.

All of that said, I do not have a violent reaction to atheist articles, or Young Earth Creationist articles. I keep an open mind, and go where the evidence points.

This militant hatred of GGG and the articles he posts I think is just a sign of your conscience nagging you.

I am writing an apologetics paper right now and one of the things that struck me about discussions with atheists is not so much that they sincerely think that God doesn’t exist (though a small minority actually do not think God exists) — it is just that they despise who He is and what He stands for. Their attitude towards believers was more akin to, “If I am going to Hell, I’m taking you with me!” As opposed to the Christian who (and I believe this is why GGG posts these articles) is to say, “If I am going to Heaven, I’m taking you with me!”

BTW, I’m no dummy — I started college when I was 12 years old. I graduated with a CompSci major when I was 17. Keep your stereotypes to yourself.

Thanks, Rom. Even though I’m a YEC, I have no problem with the vast majority of Old Earthers and IDers. We agree on far more than we disagree on, and where we disagree, for the most part we agree to disagree agreeably. And you are quite right about my motivation for posting Creation and ID articles and papers. And there is a side benefit to taking people to Heaven with us: it makes the conservative movement stronger, and our country better, why we are still here on Earth :o)
