My point is that if Dawkins wants YEC's to change, then he needs to step up to the plate and start interacting with our arguments as well as Creationists <i>themselves</i>.Mike Felkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636380476793694320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28227207.post-22588492644781130962010-12-28T16:38:36.432-05:002010-12-28T16:38:36.432-05:00Mike,

Fundamentally, they are diametrically opposed; science is not faith and abides by a strict series of guidelnes and peer review that is outside the realm of spiritualism. You discount the scientific process and science discounts the Bible as the ultimate unerring word of god. I see no way to reconcile the two opposing worldviews.Erik John Bertelhttp://www.floresgirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28227207.post-37232302731090833182010-12-28T06:00:59.737-05:002010-12-28T06:00:59.737-05:00Axel, thanks for stopping by.

There are actually some of us, as you mentioned, who have no problem in allowing the other side to present their arguments and letting the audience come to their own conclusions. Unfortunately, men like Dawkins aren't interested in the open exchange of ideas.Mike Felkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974482615713418707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28227207.post-46639389831746533862010-12-27T05:36:39.773-05:002010-12-27T05:36:39.773-05:00Thanks for having the open-mindedness to publish R...Thanks for having the open-mindedness to publish Richard Dawkins' compelling evidence against the biblical idea of the global flood.<br />It is incomprehensible to me that any thinking person can even entertain this absurd idea in this day and age but I suppose this is where "belief" comes in.Axelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696150919256400601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28227207.post-18713424883935394992010-12-26T18:36:25.253-05:002010-12-26T18:36:25.253-05:00Incidentally, I also hold to a global flood and a ...Incidentally, I also hold to a global flood and a young earth, also primarily for theological/exegetical reasons. However, I think there's ample scientific evidence to support it, and I don't find compelling that which is presented as scientific evidence against those views.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041718051509830155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28227207.post-372851706780762032010-12-26T17:49:20.815-05:002010-12-26T17:49:20.815-05:00Hey Mark, i'm definitely sided with the global...Hey Mark, i'm definitely sided with the global flood as well as a young earth, but primarily for theological/exegetical reasons.
