I thought that is what I said immediately above your reply. We can't be
advocates for an interpretation of the bible which requires that I ignore
observational evidence.

I think you are confusing me with Randy or meant this post for Randy. I am
the one who laid out a major problem with one of the dating evidences of the
YECs. I personally see almost all scientific evidence against the young earth
position and know that nearly all of their arguments for a young earth will
not stand up to detailed scrutiny.

Once again, I think you are confusing Randy's views with mine. I know that
there is a difference between what the Bible says and what the YEC theories
propose. See my web page.
