I wish that if you YECs hve the temerity to say "God created the earth in 7
literal days" you would have the diligence to deal with the scientific data
as it is not as you wish it to be. It is that willingness that I so admired
in Leonard Brand's (a YEC) book that I just finished. He didn't fail to
indicate that his view had problems in places where it had problems. He was
intellectually honest.
