“Ye?” You mean “The,” of course. Believe it or not, uneducated moderns do not know that use of the letter “y” in the middle english “ye” was actually a printer’s type substitute for the old english letter thorn. Of course, you also mean to clumsily ridicule creationists as medieval,uneducated,unscientific,etc. If anyone wants to know about this, go look at the Wikipedia entry for “Thorn (letter)”

Fascinating story and good to know, but you’re misunderstanding allmendream. YE in that post stands for Young Earth as in YEC where the C stands for creationist.
