If you read those passages and get “young earth” then you are indeed “reinterpreting” the Bible, because, like most YECs, you ignore immediate context, Biblical context, the original languages, etc. All basic “straight forward reading” skills. Ross has answered his critics over and over. His written books about it, but YECs say “Don’t read the devil’s words!” They ignore his answers and spread fabrications about him. The YEC movement, what’s left of it, is so identical to the Darwinian/Atheist Fundies. Sad.

1. how can you not get young earth from those passages?
2. Ross has not answered his critics.
3. YEC'ers have never said don't read Ross. They simply caution believers about the errors in his thinking and teaching.
4. YEC'ers have written a number of books and articles, including a book called, Refuting Compromise, calling into question much of what Ross teaches. It is compelling...and has not been answered. One of his worst failings is a complete inability to properly interpret Hebrew. He displays an amazing ignorance of the language, and refuses to acknowledge same, despite having his errors clearly pointed out to him.

Your answer makes it appear you really have not researched the YEC position very carefully. And your ad hominem attacks are unworthy of intelligent debate. If you are indeed open to the truth, wherever that might lie, I would invite you to do a little more research.
