I think there are few former Young Earth Creationists reading the blog, who have since become convinced as to the scientific validity of evolution and/or an old (i.e. billions of years) Earth. Stephen Law is interested in talking to you.
Also, are any former atheists or scientists, who have since become convinced of Young Earth Creationism?

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

Well, I think you're already aware that I, at least, fall into the former category.
ReplyDeleteAs to the latter category, I'd think finding those wouldn't be too hard, if they exist: anyone in that category would doubtless be publicised to death by YECs. :)
I was pretty sure, Micah. Like I said in the post, Stephen Law is interested, and I wanted to give you the opportunity of contacting him.
ReplyDelete"Also, are any former atheists or scientists, who have since become convinced of Young Earth Creationism?"
ReplyDeleteI doubt it.

ReplyDeleteIf they could find one. The biggest problem with YEC is that it's also a bad biblical interpretation.
You may want to qualify the latter category to exclude those people who have had full-frontal lobotomies.

ReplyDeleteFormer born-again evangelical fundie (Southern Baptist) who was a firm Biblical literalist, now a free-thinking atheist here.
The overwhelming evidence for evolution and the abhorrent dishonesty of the YEC crowd is what got me doubting in the first place. I blame the fundamentalism for killing my faith. I actually bought into the “it’s all right or it’s all wrong” line the fundies throw out, but I was honest enough to give the alternative a fair chance.
