Galaxy was referencing a prior article about the defining moment when I walked away from creationism; the panda’s thumb and giraffe/okapi business were two examples of the slow trickle of evidence that primed me to see things the way they really are.
Most people progress from YEC to OEC and then to evolutionary creationism. For me, it was different; I started as YEC, then accepted that evolution is possible (though I thought it unlikely), then went straight to evolutionary creationism as soon as I accepted deep time.
Hopefully within a few months!
