That is an interesting thread and pretty consisitent with much of the material on our main board.godslanguage wrote:http://home.entouch.net/dmd/genesis.htm
Do you think YEC proponents or OEC proponents tend to be more accepting of others positions and promote tolerance in this manner?godslanguage wrote:I also agree with Canukster. But I also disagree with a couple of things. For one, I disagree that we should be battling out with YEC'rs. The most important thing is that they believe in God and believe in the bible. Whether it be a younger interpretation that may in fact not completely go hand in hand with the bible and science or OEC which tries to be consistent with both. The facts are clear, in some way, shape or form, God created the heavens and the earth and created humans by whichever means, this is what OEC and YEC both believe in, and I think that is consistent and the most important. YEC and OEC both believe in Jesus Christ the son of God, what else matters? We can discuss the scientific evolutionary theories all we like, but in the end, the basic foundation of beliefs is the same.

Tell me what you disagree with and why and we can discuss it.FFC wrote:Thank you.godslanguage wrote:I also agree with Canukster. But I also disagree with a couple of things.

And Canuckster, there are idiots in every area of life...including YECers and OECers...your post kind of put me on the defensive. I read a lot of generalization in there.
I don't know. I just came away feeling like it was a "them against us" post and it felt like an attack. I did read your post again though and I could see your point on many of your issues.Canuckster1127 wrote:Tell me what you disagree with and why and we can discuss it.
I'll confess to easily slipping into an us vs them mode. It's hard not to respond in kind to what I've experienced and perceived from YEC camps. That doesn't make it rigt on my side. Disagreement and vigorous debate is not wrong to pursue when the issue is important.FFC wrote:I don't know. I just came away feeling like it was a "them against us" post and it felt like an attack.
