Reader response post

My hard drive is officially dead and I've ordered a new computer. Until it arrives  there will be fewer posts than I'd hoped. For today I thought it would be a good time to increase reader participation. Leave your thoughts, reactions, observations, questions in the comment section below. 

I saw this posted on Facebook by 'Your Origins Matter' and I think it is a fairly accurate presentation of the YEC response to any view of an old earth regardless of ones view of human origins:

""Many Christians are tempted to believe in billions of years because they have confidence in what the secular scientists teach. But then again, Christians readily accept the resurrection of Christ, the virgin birth, Jesus turning water into wine, and so on—all of which are rejected by secular scientists. Some might respond, “But those are miraculous events—the miracles of Christ go beyond natural law. Normal scientific procedure would not apply.” But isn’t creation a miraculous event? God spoke the universe into existence—something He does not do today. Creation goes beyond the normal everyday operation of the universe. If we arbitrarily dismiss the possibility of supernatural action by God in Genesis, then to be logically consistent, we would have to reject the other miracles in Scripture as well, including the resurrection of Christ—and the resurrection is indeed a “salvation issue” (1 Corinthians 15:14, 17).""

I'd love to hear your responses. Do you agree? Are they off base? Somewhere in between?
