YEC and its critics: is there a way forward?

It should be noted that the complained-about comment, as well as being 4 1/2 years old, (i) was made by Jonathan_Burke, a Christadelphian not an atheist, who (ii) hasn’t been seen on this forum for nearly 3 years and hasn’t posted in nearly 4, and (iii) the comment appears to have been censored by moderation (the quote of it shows as having been made on this thread, but there are no surviving posts by Burke on that thread).

This is evidence of ongoing hegemonic hostility of atheists towards YEC (or was it ID, or was it Theistic Evolution – the accusation never stays the same – sometimes not even in the same post)?

:point_up_2: :laughing:

Addendum: it should be also noted that (i) Burke does not mention disproving God (hardly surprising admittedly, as he’s not an atheist) & (ii) that, although his tone may be blunt, the actual contents of his comment would not seem at any great variance with the general view that the pro-science community (theistic or atheistic) has of YEC. To impeach these contents, I think you’d first have to demonstrate some piece of distinctively-YEC research that has been of demonstrable, substantive benefit to society.
