Hey Noguru,
How're you doing?? You got the weekend off? Do you like Rick, Rich, or Richard? Anyway, my safety flag tells me to just say I'm YEC, but it doesn't make tons of sense compared to being OEC. Anyway, I'm sort of wondering if God did not make man, woman and the earth, and everything all Old. He made Adam a man instead of a baby. It wouldn't surprise me if He did make an old Earth to throw us all off. He probably wouldn't like us thinking like OECs. I don't know. I'm going to play it safe and be YEC. If it is OEC, than we shall find out from Him surely when He returns. At least that instead of, "Go, I never knew you!" I am just going to go with that He may have made sub-humans before Adam, and those with different characteristics from each other, but as far as being a man, He made Adam, Our Adam. And then Eve. I really have trouble believing that right now. I will see how well it fits as time passes.
The other half of my PM is on it's way.
