I find myself in agreement with Pete the Sailor. It seems that some points of view can enrage others to the point that they are unable to focus on the argument and direct their ire at the individual. I have an interest in the topic and there is a discussion to be had but the smoke generated by axe grinding has served to almost obscure it.
I have yet to be even tempted to believe in YEC by any posts in this thread. In fact, there were some posts in the original thread from a (I assume) fundamentalist Christian which I found repugnant but I do not see how an attack on that person might have encouraged her to question her beliefs; I suspect such an approach would simply harden them.
The posts from pfss are all based upon an unmovable belief in a creator God and a belief in the essential truth of Genesis. While others, including me, might find such unquestioning belief hard to comprehend he has avoided personal opprobrium to the point where someone unsure might find his approach more to their liking than some of the more rationally based posters who allow their frustration to colour their responses. I believe in reason and rationality - it would good to see them being exercised to the exclusion of irritation, defensiveness and emotion.
