A new poster at EvC mentioned that they were originally a believer in evolution, but became a born again Xian and so now believe in a young earth and inerrant scripture.
This raised a sort of chicken/egg question in my mind. In moving from evo to creo, which is the order that one takes?
Does one first find that the evidence of evolution is not compelling and that there is evidence of a young earth and so creationism is accurate, and finally that scripture had been inerrant?
Or does one first become emotionally attached to scripture, and the belief that it must be inerrant, and so find that the evidence for evolution must be lacking?
I don't mean "emotionall attached" to sound demeaning, but I have no other way of phrasing what I mean. It is certainly not an intellectual study which brings one to feel connected to scripture, as it is a sprititual and emotional quest. It is about feeling. Thus try and take it in that meaning.
(I am not sure where this thread would go.)
