quote:Yea, but you went from the very specific to the very broad based on nothing. If that was FT's true point, he'll rectify it, but don't make assumptions.
YEC is a subset of ID. You can believe in ID without being a YEC, but you cannot be a YEC apart from ID.
That would be like me making a comment about Bengal tigers and then someone stating, "oh, he was just talking about cats in general."
Doesn't work that way.

It's a common mistake, a lot of people incorrectly believe YEC and ID are equivalent. In part it's due to the fact that YEC are often the loudest and most outspoken of the IDers
TBH, on some level YEC is a little more respectable. Its at least a strong conviction supported by the source material. ID as a whole is a wishy-washy, "hold onto my faith but not too much" type of belief. Yes the old earth IDer is more scientifically rational but it's essentially a modern reactionary belief. It's basically slipping God in through the backdoor where he simply isn't needed anymore.
If you genuinely believe the Bible is true and everything else is human error, then you can believe in ID without any sort of cognitive dissonance. Other types of IDers have lots and lots of holes to fill.
