Incompatibility of Geology with YEC

[Edit - Must have hit the "reply button on the wrong message - this is to Faith]It seems to me that you place your faith in your churches power to dictate to God. The Bible doesn't claim to be God's literal word (although I expect your church to say otherwise - and if they do they prove me right). The Bible doesn't say that Genesis 1 was entirely dictated by God or intended by Him to be taken as literal truth. All that is human belief.Against that you have a huge amount of scientific work, which YECs cannot equal - not even in relatively small things. Flood geology is about 100 years old and still doesn't have geological criteria to identify flood rocks or a viable explanation for the order in the fossil record. By any rational standard YEC is a failed human creation.If the core of YEC is placing falsehoods in God's mouth and commanding that they be worshipped, how could any Christian follow it ?Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

ALL rocks are flood rocks -- except maybe bedrock and volcanic intrusions from beneath -- but those are best explained in relation to the flood too.

That's just your opinion - it isn't even accepted by all YECs.Worse for you, by your own admission you are not competent to work out what explanation is the "most reasonable". If we look at secondary consideratiosn we can observe that mainstream geology is scientifically a great success while flood geology is a failure. It follows then that your only basis for your assertion is a belief that you personally must be correct.

The rest of your post is just the usual accusations based on who knows what so this is all I want to say.

It is based on the facts - for instance the fact that you keep attributing your views to God, but never actually give any evidence that He actually said any of it. Why not consider the possibility that God did NOT say a word of it ?
