Glenn
Several in your list are most definitely NOT young earthers.
I have a copy of Thomas Cooper, Evolution, The Stone Book and the Mosaic
Record of Creation, 1884.
HE IS NOT YEC and takes a long day view of Genesis - p129-31 in my edition
of 1888.
Figuier is not YEC either and accepted a local deluge.
If this is your evidence then please read your books carefully and not
misread them.
This kind of inaccuracy completely undermines everything you say. You can
have any contention you wish but if it is based on inaccuracy it goes the
way of Thomas Barnes alternative physics.
YECs became very rare after 1855 and slowly increased especially in the
USAafter 1900 and had a population explosion after 1961 and the Genesis
Flood.
Take MORE care
