Allen asked: "Does Hugh Ross imply in the following that YECs might be in
spiritual jeopardy?"
Whether or not Ross thinks so, I will assert that I certainly think so.
Not the belief itself, but what happens when the YECer finally decides to
study the evidences w/o bias, and finds out he or she has been
systematically misled for many years by those previously held in high
esteem.
I have seen a friend of 60 years standing go from being an evangelistic,
devoted, witnessing Christian in his youth to a complete rejection of all
religions when he found out how badly the YEC snake oil had misled him.
In High School and college he was an outstanding scholar. He retired a
couple of years ago from a Pitney-Bowles Vice Presidency position. In
spite of his intellect, he never did figure out that Christianity and
YECism are not bedfellows.
As the night watchman at the garbage dump said: "A waste is a terrible
thing to mind."
