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.

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.

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.

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

You'd be amazed at the emotional, militant, unChristian attacks that old-earthers have experienced from Ken Ham & Co.

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.

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

You mean the polls created by evolutionists to marginalize design? Virtually every design supported you hear about in the movement are OECS of one type or another: Dembski, Behe, Johnson, Denton, etc.

"What does amaze me are the militant, emotional, and unChristian attacks I see Old Earth creationists level against theistic evolutionists."

Now there's a lie if I've ever seen one.
