....you might want to think so but it's not really an issue at all and posting those books page by page when you're the only one who reads them indicates a level of interest on your part that raises questions .

Were you forced to read them as a child ?


These books should be 18 + years old.

Once you determine that someone is a YEC and does not listen to rational arguments (let me guess -- they were a Question Talker, i.e. they just asked questions and didn't listen to your answers, and assumed that because they didn't know the answer that meant it was unanswerable?) you're better off not bringing it up. One of my best friend's girlfriend is also a YEC. I mentioned evolution once and never again. It's not worth it when you have to deal with people regularly.


I don't even try to reason or argue with the YEC I work with. I just sit quietly and try my best not to laugh when he talks about it.

It is hilarious to watch him be completely serious while explaining to people how the earth is 6000 years old and that dinosaurs existed until only recently (he cites drawings of dragons as historical "proof" that people saw dinosaurs.) The look on peoples' faces when he says this shit is priceless.
Last week he wouldn't get the free flu shot from work because "the government has put so much 'stuff' into it."

Oh, well if he's the one that brings it up then you're free to ridicule it, like so:

The simplest way to make a Young Earth Creationist / Biblical Literalist's mind turn inside out is to ask them how old the pyramids are (answer: about 2000 BC) and then ask them how long ago the Genesis flood was (answer: "The Biblical data places the Flood at 2304 BC +/- 11 years." from AnswersInGenesis.com). Then ask if they can explain to you how the eight humans that survived the Genesis Flood could have repopulated the nation of Egypt AND the nation of Israel, and enmity could have formed between them such that one group would have enslaved the other in such a short period of time.

edit: And not just the Egyptians and the Israelites. We can't forget about all of the other various tribes that were present in the physical land that the nation of Israel fled to that the Israelites had to kill off in order to conquer that land.


Then instead of a super flood, it becomes a minor flood or a metaphor for a flood, you can't win.

Verbal abuse is just as harmful as physical abuse in some cases, you teach a child that Adam and Eve walked with the dinosaurs you're opening them up to vicious ridicule for the rest of their school years and possibly into adulthood. Which they deserve if they continue to believe that crap after they hit 9-14. You also stunt their intellectual growth possibly ruining their future.

Who said anything about atheism? People can believe in a god and still believe in evolution and science.
