Yeah but at that point you’re arguing theology.

  Right, but YEC is theology. You were arguing theology from the beginning!
  • philwelch 7y ago
    I was just arguing a distinction between physical and metaphysical truth. My “theology”, such that it exists, is merely that God is fundamentally beyond human understanding and that we can’t meaningfully use human motivations or morality to model God’s actions.
    • whatshisface 7y ago
      If everything about God is beyond human understanding, then a belief in that god doesn't leave you with any more beliefs than you started with, which makes it atheism by a different name. I would argue that you would have to have at least one religious belief to be counted as religious (and no, "the belief that I have a religious belief" doesn't count.)

        I didn’t say I was religious, and in any case this is a distant digression.
