Are YECs ignorant, dumb, or stupid?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across as uncharitable in any way.

Not you, you big ninny. Lol.

Genesis scripture is the "possession" by which the observations, perceptions and inferences come, whether the interpretation is accurate or not is a different issue because it comes primarily by faith and this is what scripture does in fact herald as the necessity of all importance. In fact, even if a creation miracle didn’t occur, I believe those that stuck to it by faith will face much less consequences than those who believed it to be untrue if it turns out a creation miracle did occur. We unfortunately don’t have divine revelation that verifies present general revelation yet. Instead we have predominantly atheistic, materialistic, naturalistic driven ideas behind that,

You need to justify your accusation that contemporary science and evolution is predominantly atheistic, materialistic, and [philosophical?] naturalism driven. There is no evidence that this is the case. Contemporary science is driven by the evidence and Methodological Naturalism. There is no evidence in scientific knowledge that could justify atheism nor theism.

. . . so obviously I never said, nor do I believe that there is no conflict with faith and general revelation, but that isn't the issue either. Again, "everything that fits together as true in general revelation" is not a theological premise. Maybe you’re insistence that it is is indication that there is some uncomfortable issue or conflict with your scientific and theological belief.

Theological premises dominate YEC/OEC beliefs concerning the history of the universe, earth and life. Oh yes! I for one am very uncomfortable with the dominance of this archaic, supersticious rejection of science. It has potentially devastating effects on the future of education and technology in America. Will likely result in America becoming a tail dragger in competing with the rest of the world.
