The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old

[Zazzy]

The part that's hard to remember, Zazzy, is that religionists aren't scientists. It's a wonder they accept the explanation for regurgitation.

Many, many scientists are religionists (which I understand to mean a person primarily guided by religious faith). My field is evolutionary molecular genetics, and many (maybe even most) of the fine scientists I work with are religious folks, who often do excellent lab work (although I don't hear very much about their religions in the work environment). I'm not trying to smack you down here, just to observe that those who can put up don't need to shut up.

If SW has a nice broad field of primary research by creationists, (I didn't even specify YEC to allow him latitude), then by all means, let's see a good cross-section of it, and see if it's up to the standards set by even a middling scientific journal. If he can put up, he doesn't need to shut up.

Plus, won't it be fun to see these papers! I hope you'll be with me in reading them.
