Faith and Science Ping.
I don't think this debate is all that interesting. As my earlier post indicates, the old earthers don't make a good case. The debate is useful, however, to illustrate how rational believes should not argue against YECS.
Actually, I don't see how anyone could support YECism after doing an honest study of the sides. YECism has so many blatant contradictions, frauds, poorly interpretated scripture, blatant ignoring of context and Hebrew, fabricated science, outlandish claims, etc., that it's a major embarssment to Christianty. That's why most in the design movement have abandoned it. Ken Ham & co. don't like to mention that, but they have been left behind. It's also why they vilify anyone who opposes them, so you'll be afraid to check it out for yourself. You'd be amazed at the emotional, militant, unChristian attacks that old-earthers have experienced from Ken Ham & Co.
Why Young-Earthism is NOT the Literal Interpretation and Why It's Blatantly Wrong
