Alright, McCants, I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt, but you seem unwilling to respect others or their views. Thanks for playing, but you’re out of the pool.

That gets to the heart of the matter – you don’t respect others. I can respect someone – even an atheist or a mormon – even though they’re dead wrong in their beliefs.

“but I respect anyone who diligently searches and is willing to examine why they believe what they believe – even young-earthers.”

Respect someone who “searches”??? How can they possible demonstrate that they are “willing to examine why they believe what they believe”? That’s completely circular? They “believe” because they have “faith”. Then they deserve the proper respect of any religion, astrology, alchemy, etc.

Mike,
The horse is dead; you can stop beating it. My personal belief, after looking at the Scriptural and scientific evidence, is that the earth is old, but I respect anyone who diligently searches and is willing to examine why they believe what they believe – even young-earthers.

“Any apparent conflict is a misinterpretation of the natural record, or of Scripture, or of both.”

The post you linked to asserts that the Earth is only 6000 years old. This conflicts with virtually every field of science. So, yes, her interpretation of Scripture is a misinterpretation.

McCants,
That’s a bit strong. I wouldn’t say they hold the disciplines in contempt, but rather, they see the natural record as an inferior record of God’s creation. They see secular science, and even old earth creationism, as a threat to their theology. I see all truth (scientific or otherwise) as God’s truth, so science and Scripture can’t conflict. Any apparent conflict is a misinterpretation of the natural record, or of Scripture, or of both.

But “Young Earth Creationism” holds virtually every scientific discipline from Astronomy to Zoology in contempt.

What did you learn about yourself from Rock Band?

Whoa thanks Uncle Steve! It means a lot to me that you shared these sentiments!

Also, I learned a lot about myself from the highly entertaining video game sensation Rock Band ; )
