There are intelligent YEC'ers out there. Have them put together a Creation Wiki and I'll try to be kinder.
You're right Stu. Being an OEC supporter and having for years to have to be defensive in the face of YEC proponents on the Internet and in person in the past within the institutional church, one of the first measures of how I assess the integrity level of YEC supporters is not, of course that they agree with me or OEC, because they by definition don't. What I do find "unforgivable" and loses my respect quicker than anything is arrogance and an inability or unwillingness to accurately define what OEC is and what OEC proponents in general believe. That is not an unreasonable thing to request or expect.
It's compounded when YEC proponents assume the title of "Creationists" in such a way that excludes OEC proponents.
This site, as I demonstrated with quotes directly from it, pretty much hits on all those points.
I'm unapologetically biased on this. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that someone who condemns a movement and summarily dismisses creationists who differ with them, should at least be able to accurately define the OEC position even if they qualify and explain why they disagree with it. Add to that a lumping together of OEC with Evoliutionists and to me it sadly just speaks to the bigotry and bias of those doing it and if you look up the terms I'm using them as defined, not prejoratively.
He takes heat from time to time, but Jlay is a YEC proponent I overall respect, because he is willing to confront fellow YECers when they do this and I believe he understands the basic premises of the OEC position, even if he rejects them in favor of YEC. That's all I can ask.
