YEC Atheists

[dga471 (Daniel)]

It seems to me that hardcore atheists like to criticize both YEC fundamentalist Christians who distrust mainstream science and liberal Christians who subscribe to science but don’t believe in many tenets of traditional orthodox Christian theology (e.g. Goff responds to my critique of “religious fictionalism”). However, they are just puzzled by those of us “in the middle” (such as Josh and Francis Collins) who affirm mainstream science but are earnestly serious about their beliefs in literal miracles and the Resurrection. They often try to box us into the fundamentalist framework (e.g. Daniel Ang: A Scientist Looks at the Resurrection) but it really doesn’t fit, as we’re able to speak the same scientific language (unlike fundamentalists), yet we also are able to coherently speak the language of theology.
