20th C when even most conservative US Christians were reconciled to an ancient earth & a succession of extinct creatures, if not to evolution per se. Young-earth creationism only took off in a big way since Whitcomb & Morris's 'The Genesis Flood' in 1960.

“Origin of man now proved.—Metaphysics must flourish.—He who understands baboon would do more towards metaphysics than Locke.”

Erica points out something I'd never thought of before. How hypocritical it is of YECs to claim theistic evolution can't be "good" since it involves death while defining "good" as "anything God does".

These shitheads believe God did a *GLOBAL FLOOD* that was good!

Thank you very much.

Glad to be here.

I've actually had the account for a while now, just never used it until now.

Thanks for the welcome.

Thank you very much, glad to be here.
