I am not attacking your BELIEFS. I am attacking the ‘creation science’, which: 1. perverts science, 2. perverts Christian faith.
That is your opinion. I think that evolution perverts science and that trying to fit evolution in the Bible perverts the Christian faith. I do not believe everything that I hear coming from creation scientists just like I don’t believe everything I hear coming from ANY person. Because we are people and are fallible.
If you are attacking a young earth creationist viewpoint, you are attacking my viewpoint. Keep it civil. If you evidence to present do that. However saying we are fringe (negative connotation), unable to reconcile faith and science, anti science, etc etc, that is a personal attack.
I have even had people denigrate me as a mother and a teacher of my children because I don’t believe in evolution. I UNDERSTAND evolution and I teach it to my children. I don’t agree that it is settled science or that it is the best explaination for the evidence.
People have different views than you. I don’t think you are a bad person or stupid for teaching your children (if you have any) about evolution. I do not think it is child abuse.
I would appreciate the same respect.
One question that I have, why is the issue of evolution so PERSONAL to people? Why are you sad for Jim Robinson (although I don’t think he is YEC). Why is there a need to control what others think on this issue?
Aside from the fact that you are 180 degrees out from reality, you are reinacting the very thing that caused this thread to be posted!
