Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Reverend Breeden, you are absolutely right. This discussion has become unprofitable. I thought that Alexander honestly wanted to explore the issue further, but it has become clear that he does not. That is unfortunate.

Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, you really have worked hard to make the eternal universe argument look like the OEC argument, and I applaud you for that. The problem is that in trying to make it look like the OEC argument, you are forced to make false statements about…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, you seem to be missing two very key facts here:
1. If you use the literal definition of yom as an indefinite period of time, then the earth could be ANY age. Thus, it could be young, or it could be old. Given the fact that there are…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Brian, you cited an excellent analysis that clearly shows yom doesn't mean a 24-hour day in the Hosea verse. Then you claim that because if parallelism and "multiple levels of interpretation," it doesn't matter - the general rule…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, one of the literal translations of yom is "an indefinite period of time." If that literal definition is justified, then the Genesis days could be ANY length of time, including billions of years. The OECs have arguments to…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Justin, you really don't understand the OEC position, and it shows. The OEC position does not include the framework hypothesis or the gap theory. Please learn the position before you try to dispute it.

Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, you ask, "If it were not so, what would be the purpose of holding the position if we are faced with such persecution from the academic world as being rejected for graduate degrees for holding the view, for losing tenure at…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, I think your statement:
"If YEC is not the Biblical orthodox position then what are we doing here?"
is illustrative of a problem that is rampant in the YEC community. I am a young-earth creationists not because I think it is…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Reverend Breeden, the moderator DID NOT ask us to stop. Here is what he said:
"If you want to continue this, go right ahead, but I will not be responding to them anymore."
Thus, the moderator explicitly gave us permission to go ahead if…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Brian, I read your entire post. The end was special pleading, trying to ignore the excellent analysis at the beginning. However, even at the very end, you admit, "At best you can say "yom" is an indefinite period of time that is…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Brian, I was not maligning your character. If you took it that way, I am sorry. However, your own discussion here shows that, indeed, you were convoluting the verse in your first reply. You wanted the days there to mean 24-hour days so that you…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, the OEC position cannot be refuted by "sophomoric" rebuttals. Indeed, none of the rebuttals on this thread have come close to showing the OEC position to be wrong. Indeed, some of those arguments (like ordinal + yom must mean…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Alexander, you certainly haven't convinced me that the eternal universe position is of equivalent strength to the OEC position. Indeed, your arguments have required such Scripture-twisting that they have so far shown the fundamental difference…"
Dr. Jay L. Wile replied to Tim Chaffey's discussion 'Young Earth Creationists or Biblical Creationists?' in the group Young Earth Creationists"Brian, thanks for your reply. I think you are a bit confused. You are the one who is saying that your interpretation is the only correct one. Indeed, you claim that anyone who interprets the verses differently than you is being unBiblical. I am…"
