Couldn't agree with you more. It's not the YEC's who bring harm to
Christianity. It is the postmodernist-relativist interpretation of the Word
that causes the greatest harm and creates masses of ex-Christians.
Most harm that YEC's can do is to infuriate the likes of Dick Dawkins and
other post-modernist-relativists - which is probably a good thing!

I agree. But I think it is quite in line to attack their arguments and
positions, particularly when it is apparent that these do great harm to
Christianity.

YECs don't do great harm to Christianity if they behave like Christians.
Why should Ken Ham even care how old the earth is? He is doing the will of
God.
"If Christian leaders have told the next generation that one can accept
the world's teachings in geology, biology, astronomy, etc., and use these
to (re)interpret God's Word, then the door has been opened for this to
happen in every area, including morality." Ken Ham
It's the postmodernists who say science has proven the religious texts are
scientifically incorrect and then proceed to create a new morality out of
whole cloth without looking more closely at the old religion before
abandoning it that do great harm to Christianity.
