Hey now, if you know of Sarfati, you know why I made that remark...

What exactly does fit a Christian? I would have thought that it was following Christ, and he never minced words.
Since all Jesus ever talked about were ineffable mysteries, how would you know if he wasn't mincing words?

Luke 12:41-44 "Peter asked, 'Lord are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?'
The Lord answered, 'Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions."

Uh, that doesn't answer the question.

I think that Socrates the Tweb should strongly protest that Sarfati is using all his trademarked lines.

What a jerk.

Just for amusement I wandered through the links that were his appeal to authorities he provided all through that reply, and read some of their previous articles. They all seemed to have the same format. Discuss current science theory, amplify the parts of the theory that are still being hammered out, or need more data, or have several debated possibilities...

And then for no apparent reason, insert a new YEC theory alongside the others, claim the bible is perfect, therefore the YEC theory is right. QED.

Must be strange, living in the black and white world of a YEC.
