Jack,

This is really very interesting. Almost all of this, and the other
posts
thus far, is new to me and important--which is the main reason I
called for
us to explore this. Thank you for the contribution.

I would prefer to continue the public conversation rather than to
take it
off list, but you must do what you are more comfortable with.

THere is one point I do not agree with, however. Here it is:

Timothy Martin in "Beyond Creation Science" claims that:
"It is no secret that every leading writer for the Creation Science
movement
supports some version of dispensational pre-millenialism."

That is, I do not agree with what Martin says here. Historically
it's just
wrong--lots of the support for YEC views has come from Missouri Synod
Lutherans, conservative Presbyterians, and theonomists who have not been
pre-mils. I recently reviewed Michael Ruse's new book, which also makes
much of the purported pre-mil/creationist connection, pretty much
arguing in
places what Martin says. My review is due out this month in Isis,
and when
it actually appears I'll send it to the list. For the time being, I
echo
what the late Henry Morris himself wrote about the book shortly
before his
death:

I am wholly unfamilar with Timothy Martin, thank you for calling him
to my
attention.

Ted
