Administrator: It was a mistake to include a post from Radiochemist in this thread as he is not a registered Baptist on Baptist Board. However since Helen responded to it, we are letting it stay. However no other material from non-members or non-Baptists will be allowed in this thread. Our apologies for this mistake.

Heaven forbid that they should allow anyone to post there who actually knows something about science.

I am frightened and have thurst my head deeply into the sand. I can no longer see you, therefore I am now invisible to you. Go away, foul unbeliever. You waste your time here. There is nothing to see. No one to talk to..........

Yeesh!

What they don't realize is that their moderation is actually an arguement for evolution. If creation were really true, they would WANT to bring the facts and the evidence into broad daylight.

I couldn't help myself...I just had to read that thread...even though ever since I got banned from the BB I've avoided lurking there on principle.

I found the following quote from Helen disturbing yet oddly hilarious:

Quote:

If it is of any interest in you, both Barry and I started out as evolutionists, and then went to a long-ages model and finally, due to the evidence (and it is to our shame, each of us individually, that we did not have enough faith to simply trust the Bible was being clear!) ended up in the YEC position. He ended up there through his work in physics and astronomy, and I ended up there through studies in both cellular and population genetics.

The Bible is absolutely trustworthy. That is the message both of us want to tell anyone willing to listen!

Oh brother!

I found out just how little Helen knows about biology through my discussions with her. She didn't even understand how RNA worked! It is truly frightening that people trust her "scientific" posts so much (and that she's a high school science teacher!).

I thought they had modified their no-nontheist policy to include "outsiders" in the E/C discussions. If this isn't a backhanded admission that the YECs don't have a leg to stand on, I don't know what is!

As for the Setterfields joining the YEC camp because of their extensive understanding of science,

I agree. The fact that people look to her as the final authority on "science" is truly scary.

Well seeing that Helen and her husband Harry kept their marriage a secret is certainly an interesting detail on just how important the truth is to them.
