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"...)

Oh OK then, since no division exists there is only one true reality reflecting our worldviews, ala we must be in complete and total agreement, the Bible is the inspired word of God and it is absolute truth.
