No. In fact, as to the scientific discussion of origins, I don’t see how one’s religion can really make any difference.

And just so it is clear, when I use the term “self-professed” as to your religion, I am in NO WAY suggesting I don’t believe your profession. I just try very studiously NOT to make a direct claim about someone else’s true religion, as I have no idea what the case is for other people. So “self-professed” is simply my way of saying that it is not MY opinion, but the opinion of the person I am referencing.

And I apologize that the use of the phrase in this context could well have been read to be doubting your profession.

I took it no such way, and I appreciate your concern about it.

Regarding the original point, I’m glad that you did not respond in the affirmative. In fact, I might conjecture that professed Christianity actually further detracts from the YEC position.
