Could asteroids lead to the extinction of YECism ?
I am sure you know the answer to this question is no. There is no fact, however blatantly obvious and however contrary to the description in Genesis, that a YEC cannot deny, explain away, or claim to be instead evidence in support of his beliefs.
Evidence that Genesis 1 and are not a description of our origins is available almost everywhere we look. This has been the state of things for over 350 years. A lot of it was turned up by Christians doing astronomy, geology, biology, etc. None of it convinces that special believer in the literal Bible worship that is the essence of the YEC.
Maintaining belief in the face of the evidence is itself a merit badge for some of the faithful. Some YECs, (not going to name you, DT, Z, MS) come here just to earn such credit. But for most YECs, Creation science is just a lark.
And if nothing else works, YEC can recite the following before praying for those people with Fallen brains:
quote:
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
or Job 5:13, or Proverbs 14:8, or 1 Corinthians 1:20, or James 3:15:
quote:
James 3:15
Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
