"So may I assume that you are, in fact, Derrick Dean?"

No, keep guessing.

"that you accused of attacking other Christians"

It wasn't an accusation, it was based on fact:

AIG's Tactics

"accusing them of turning people away from the bible "

Again, not an accusation, but a verifiable fact. Check out virtually any skeptic book on creation or God and there's usually a section on YECism see how the skeptics use it as a reason not to believe in the Bible or God.

"accusing them of being cults"

No, I implied they were acting like cults. "but it is a position which holds scripture above science and not on an equal footing."

All YECs claim this only to claim on the same page the infallibility of their creation science. You can't have it both ways.

Are you an old earth creationist?

How is that different than a theistic evolutionist?

Serious question: I honestly don't know.

Then I must not be a YEC. And under that definition, I suspect that nobody on this thread is a YEC.

I don't necessarily subscribe to any Creation science. I do not put Creation Science on an equal footing with Scripture. Creation Science by and large is speculation, as is Natural Science. It is ludicrous and dishonest to suggest that ALL YEC's claim that they say that they do not put scripture and science on an equal footing merely because they want to claim infallibility of Creation science. That's baloney and you should know it.

I frankly don't care if there is a shred of physical evidence to support my position. My position is not based upon reconciling the apparent age of the earth with the scriptures. My position is based solely upon the scriptures. While it may be an interesting hobby to try to reconcile the scientific evidence with my position (and there are several theories which I have given some credence) I hold to the scriptural position because it is scriptural. God said he did it in 6 days. I believe it.
