In fact, I shared my own "testimony" of living most of my adult life as a day ager until re-examining the issue a few years ago. Ultimately, however, it is not a matter of one person having "my view" and another having a different one. Certainly, shouldn't we be able to agree that the Scripture rules over our own "views" whatever they might be?

And, ultimately one must determine how the divine author and human author intended Genesis 1-11 to be understood. Literary analysis of the text by the prof at The Master's Seminary is either correct or incorrect. If it is correct, we should all be YEC people. If it is incorrect, please explain to me how and why. Perhaps you will convince me of the superiority of your exegesis.
I am not criticizing anybody I have no real objection to the young earth view I just feel that some of it's proponents can be a tad bit over zealous that's really the only hold up I have I understand the use of science in proofing the young earth theory but doesn't this just end up turning into a shell game?
