In the debate following the debate, online responses to the article seemed to be overwhelmingly opposed to Biblical literalism*---not necessarily Atheist, but skeptical of scriptural "evidence" for "scientific" theology. The Answers in Genesis guy is well aware of the crux of the debate : do you believe God's Word, or God's World?
Example :
<< "If we accept millions of years of extinction and death before Adam and Eve were created, that becomes a huge theological problem" said the guy from Answers in Genesis.
LOL. So physics presents theological problems. Biology presents theological problems. Geology presents theological problems. When the facts of science that we use every day present theological problems, it's time to grow up and fix your theology. Some people believe the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft is a real place. We don't have to respect their beliefs, and we can treat those beliefs with scorn, derision and dismissal. And this is exactly how we should treat the beliefs of Biblical literalists who tell stories about baby dinosaurs on the Ark. Such stories go beyond childish are are simply asinine. The Bible is poetry, not journalism. >>
* Of course, the early responders may be members of the local Freethought Society, who are on the lookout for opportunities to counter theological illogic.
