Suck it in and know that there isn't real conflict between Christianity and Evolutionary development.

TC, does this mean you've put YECism behind you, and made the transititon to theistic evolutionist?Moose------------------

The situation of YECism's conflict with science is not so much the Creationism part, as it is the Young Earth part.Even (most of) the evolutionist side does not have a problem with the posiblility of God having had a guiding hand in evolution (biological and non-biological); although finding God's fingerprints is highly problematic.It's the time frame of YECism that is found to be out of contact with any worldly reality.Moose------------------

I may have diverted this topic in a different direction than what was intended, but I think that TC is a valuable example of a hard core YEC having come to some greater appreciation and understanding of science in general, and the science of evolution in particular. Is the originator of the topic still around, is now the question.Moose

All I simply wanted to know is how to get through a class that was teaching something you didn't believe in.

Sometimes you just have to muddle though a class, because your degree program requires it.Personally, I had a terible time getting through the second quarter of calculus. It much delayed, and almost stopped me from getting my geology degree. It wasn't that I didn't "believe" in it (although, my personal view is that it is pretty irrelivent); It was something I just couldn't adsorb. The quarter I finally passed it, I probably spent more time on that one class, than all the others put together. I got a "C", and now, I've long forgoten any and all of the class content.Moose------------------
