Yep. I do believe that is at the root of allmendream's basic holding. And by the same token, that characterization would seem to be as true for YECers as it is for Darwinists.
JMHO FWIW. On the grounds that doctrine is no substitute for experience.
Thanks for your most enlightening essay/post dear metmom!
Except that scientists are not insisting that God had to do something one way or another way, they are simply pointing out how things COULD have happened based upon physical phenomena being the result of physical forces, and drawing up valuable models that allow explanation and prediction of how things could have happened.
Nice to see you get in a dig at the YEC crowd though, they actually ARE in the business of attempting to deciding how God can and cannot do things.
Scientists are merely in the business of finding physical explanations for physical phenomena.
Man is not the measure of God.
