I do have to agree with Steve here. I find my colleagues ears totally
stopped up when it comes to Christianity. Why? Because what they see with
their own eyes is not compatible with what YECs teach about geology. It is
sad to see a colleague tell you that Christianity is a bunch of ____ that
is totally false, and to know that they are rejecting what the global flood
people teach. And there is almost no way to reach these people for Christ.
At least I haven't found a way.

But, I would ask Steve to realize that just because the YECs are harsh
(John Woodmorappe is quite harsh with me) is no more a reason for us to be
harsh with them than when a YEC uses someone like Sagan or Dawkins as
justification for their harshness.
