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

I've got no argument with you here. I'd only add that the same thing is true, albeit to a lesser degree, for Old Earth creationism.

I don't think that's true. As far as I know, the polls all indicate that the most evolution skeptics are YECS.

That doesn't amaze me at all. What does amaze me are the militant, emotional, and unChristian attacks I see Old Earth creationists level against theistic evolutionists.

Thanks very much for your link in post #14...I take a lot of interest in the ongoing evolution/creationism/ID threads, and always find lots of information of those threads...your link is another link to add to my every growing list of things I need to read...its appreciated..
