So what are you saying, I should only say to YECs things with which they
agree???? What a strange idea. Of course it makes a difference to me and I
have a perfect God-given right to try to persuade people that what matters
to me SHOULD matter to them. Are you a crypto-censor?

Sorry, your logic is highly flawed. Just because YEC is false, false false,
it doesn't therefore follow that my view is right right right, no matter how
much or little I might feel that way. What their view being wrong does is
make their view false.

Good grief. [sigh] they believe in the appearance of age. The logical
deduction from this is that God is a liar. You are going to try to say
again that I should only tell them things with which they agree.

Thank you for the great blessing. I will mark this day in my calendar.
Yippeeeeee! Please pat me on the head again. [pant pant, sit up and beg]
And you think I am arrogant.
Josh, I am finished with this discussion. I simply can't deal with this.
