Who should be held to a higher standard? Practicioner's of science
who revere truth or the Christians who revere the Truth?<<
We should be held to a higher standard. But I would not use the term "lie".
People would have said that about me when I was a YEC but I wasn't "lying".
I believed what I said, knew the problems and admitted them, although few
others seemed to want to admit problems. I do believe that with few
exceptions, they believe what they teach so it is not lying. But they are
not correct in their teaching about science.
Dave wisely wrote:
>>If I could do what is in my heart, I would foremost teach my children
about the character of God (including love of the truth), and then
about world views and how they are more critical than any specific
argument about science, religion, politics, sex, drugs, ... Then,
in this framework, I would impart to them what *I* happen to think.<<
To this I give a hearty amen.
