Perhaps it is you who has a limited understanding of the degree of metaphysical conjecture that is involved in 'evolution'.

Metaphysical merely means the conclusion is based on "abstract thought". It means 'interpretation of evidence'. The opposite of "abstract thought" is "concrete evidence".

This is what I have been trying to teach you boys for several days now.

There are no *facts* (concrete evidence) that falsify YEC. There are only 'interpretations of evidence' involving 'abstract thought' (i.e., metaphysical explanations).

I was right - it's got to be the "too much dope" thing...

I'm reminded of the Animal House line about the whole universe being one atom in the fingernail of some giant being.

By the way, which previously banned YEC'er are you? I see you haven't been registered long, but you sure seem to use the same style as most of the long-term Genesisists.
