I just don’t get it, back when I was in school, there were fourteen of us in my class (small town), thirteen, Eastern Orthodox Christians and one Muslim, we never had trouble with talking about things like Big Bang, Neanderthals, Global warming, old earth or evolution. Hell, my grandfather went to school for only four years and he already knew about evolution. (Granted, when he went to school, we were under communist rule so they learned about evolution pretty early on)
Why is it such a huge problem among YEC’s?
Of course, we didn’t talk about it too much, so, in retrospect, I can’t say where everyone stands.
Old earth is certainty though.
