Well then by all means provide us with your proofs of this “equally abhorrent false dichotomy.’ If that’s too much for you perhaps you could provide some examples that show this belief to be so evil.

There are more YEC followers than you think there are, and Sir Isaac Newton was one too...

It would seem that your heated response stems from a fundmental lack of understanding of the term, "false dichotomy" -- which simply means, "creating a division where none exists".

In the instance under discussion, (See the title of the OPA) there are not only "false dichotomies" (fomented by both the "YEC side" and the "Science side") they are quite often "false dichotomies with the middle excluded":

("H'it's MY way and NOT yore way -- and there ain't no middle ground 'cause that would mean compromising MY way!")

... and you hear that (with differing linguistic "flavors", of course) from both the "atheistic evolutionist science" side , and from the "polarized holier-than-thou YEC" side.

Hence the title of the OPA...

(BTW, referring to my #76 may be helpful -- while I go offline and prepare a discussion "with more Scriptural meat on its bones"...)
