Debate:Are Young Earth Creationists detracting others from the Faith? (view source)
Revision as of 15:44, January 12, 2008
, 15:44, January 12, 2008The various views need to be compared and contrasted
So, I'm not sure if YEC has an overall negative effect on faith. I think it might do in Europe where evolution, old earth, the Big Bang, etc. are almost universally accepted. A sudden campaign by mainstream religious leaders to push YEC would probably be met with derision and faith might be undermined. In the US, however, where YEC is comparatively common and different Christian sects are more diverse and visible, it might be considered yet another "Pick & Mix" option of their faith that can be accepted or discarded depending upon one's scientific education and preacher.
