What does /his/ think of Young Earth Creationists?

>>1537774

The Bible never explicitly said 6000 years.

I think discussion of earth's natural history should belong in /sci/, unless you admit that you're talking about mythical stories. In which case, enjoy your stay in /humanities/.

Natural (nonhuman) history is a science.

>>1537779
yes, but you can get an estimate based on dates of events we do know in the bible, several magic number periods of 40, 80, etc and the long ass genealogy that is primarily in genesis. reminder that the 6000 year date came from the catholic church, who now say it's a metaphor

>>1537786
I meant YECs as a social phenomena.
YEC is not science
It's a theological interpretation
this is a defacto religious board.

when did the catholics abandon it?

>fundamentalist protestants are literally reviving catholic doctrines

The Bible also never said that Adam was the first person, and implies otherwise; he's simply special for some reason and directly created by God. Probably as an ur-ancestor to the Hebrews.

>claim the Earth is only 6000 years old because millions of years is a timescale too large to comprehend
>claim infinite life after death

Why are religious people such unconscionable retards...

Because with indoctrination during childhood you can fuck up a person with a high propability into an unredeemable egotistic magical thinker.

>unredeemable

The world is full of ex-creationists, though. Indoctrination can be overcome. It's just the retards who remain.
