Much healthier environment than /r/debateevolution. I feel like lurking here will be worthwhile
As an aside, Morton was one of the people who helped me realize Morton’s demon was affecting me as a YEC, and helped sway me out of it. I’ll always be indebted to him for that, and for motivating me to pursue geology as a career.
Welcome to Peaceful Science @Mr_Wilford. It is great to have you here. I hope you invite weary travelers from reddit, those seeking a meaningful conversation about origins, to come along too.
Sure thing! As is clear I’m a massive fan of Snowpiercer, and frankly I was just psyched to get the username I have on Reddit, as I thought it would have been taken. I’m a former YEC, though I’m not big on debating, lurking is more my thing nowadays. I’m currently working towards getting a bachelors of science in geology, and am shooting for a masters degree at the minimum.
I’m part of a behind the scenes group who shares a common interest in this origins debate, and I’ve invited them to come on over if they’re willing. I obviously wont share names of those not present on this forum yet, unless they actually do join, but two of them are @JacksonWheat1 and @dsterncardinale (hi guys!)
Yeah, it’s gonna be a tough project. I have to weather the cars to look iced over, add lighting, turn dome cars into a few greenhouses, the works. And thats just for the actual train. I’ll have to make a frozen city landscape too, but thankfully I have friends who will help me learn how to do all of that.
As I said, decade long project more than likely, but I’m fine with that
Some of us are former YECs who want to try and help people on the fence, others come from families who are caught up in that even if they themselves never bought it. Others have just found it interesting to follow through the years.
