RE: @r_speir 's post: Full disclosure, I am a fully committed YEC who considers TE a frustrating compromise.
Yet I stand by my original post where I commend @swamidass for his WSJ op-ed. He took a bold step to stand for Christ, knowing the effect it could have on his career. I have compassion for career scientists who are under a lot of pressure to keep quite. There are more like him still ‘in-the-closet’. We need to rally behind any of them taking a stand for Christ! Yes, he still adheres to evolution, but he was declaring his faith in CHRIST! What a bold thing that is. Let us all continue to support and pray for more like him.
I know YECs can say that TE (and the likes) cause “more damage than good”. But YECs can be just as guilty of “more damage than good”. I have read far too many testimonies of people growing up in YEC communities, and come out damaged. That’s sad. I believe we can do a better job.
