I always enjoy seeing Glenn Morton being mentioned here. And I’m glad you just mentioned him because it’s relevant to my previous post to @faded_Glory (which hopefully got approved before this one).
His testimony is a favorite one brought up here often:
Why I Left Young-Earth Creationism
Notice that his doubts about YEC grew stronger “by 1986” . And he includes quotes from fellow YECs from that timeframe.
And here’s a quote from him that Ron provided:
I was still a YEC myself. But by the mid 1980s, I threw in the towel.
The geologic data simply doesn’t support a young earth.
That was now 3 decades ago **!**
I personally started following this topic in the early 90s, and can attest that back then the evidence for YEC was pretty sparse!
Since then, SO MUCH HAS CHANGED.
Nothing has changed. AiG’s current list of young earth ‘evidence’ covers much the same topics that they were using more than 30 years ago: C14 in diamonds, magnetic field decay, human population growth, moon recession.
The only items that could possibly be described as ‘new’ are
intact dinosaur cells, and
no cracks in grand canyon rock folds,
both of which are blatant deception.
