I've already stated my position on this in the "Shaking Matt Bell's Faith"
post.

CARTER
This would involve me in a very long and lengthly topic that we would get
nowhere on, and I do not have the time or the resources to debate this one.

CARTER
This sounds interesting, I probably have lost the original post however.
Cite the verses and I'll get on it.

CARTER
The witness of the Holy Spirit would be one, but unbelievers usually have a
hard time with that. However, the main criteria would be simple CONTEXT and
COMMON SENSE. You'll notice that Till has totally tucked his tail and ran
from my challenge to prove the universal application of Christ's command to
the rich man. So until someone can rationally demonstrate where I am wrong
in my exegesis, I will not address this topic.

CARTER
When have I ever mentioned young earth conditions?
