Interesting timing on this article. I just did an episode/post about how I don’t think we can start with Scripture to build a case for YEC. I don’t think it’s how we are meant to read Scripture.
Interesting - I never stopped to think about the YEC position; I've always just taken it at face value. There's a lot in there to think about.
The only point I'll make is to consider that all humans, in every time and place, bring our own preconceived notions when we think about anything. I don't see how it's possible not to, as it's part of the human experience.
Which means that all of the history passed down from generation to generation is filtered through how we view the world, so it's important to remember this when we learn anything in this life.
Even scientists are subject to this very natural tendency. Or maybe that's my own preconceptions peeking out. 😁

Appreciate your ending words!
Thanks for the comment, Jake. I read your blog post on the subject. As always, it was an interesting read. Keep smashing idols!
Curious, Jake - What do you mean by "creationist?" If not, then how do you answer the question of our existence? Assuming that you do. Thanks.
