Excellent comment about how male supremacists (the evangelical type) try to use a sort of Biblical proof by induction to argue their case that all humans must fit into pink & blue boxes based on gender.

They cannot make it true for all x no matter how hard they try, because the rigor of empirical observation shows otherwise, and not all of the dominoes will fall the way they want them to.

Some (of the Calvinist persuasion) will argue that since the senses are tainted by the black ink of total depravity, they cannot be used to form any valid theological construct. But this really only amounts to a special plea designed to get around those pesky dominoes that won’t play nice.

Great post about the time line controversy as a road block to a young Earth view! If one of God’s attributes is sheer creative power, then it is not at all unreasonable to conclude that time itself, no matter how large or small the sub-interval, is as pliable (for Him) as the physical stuff he made from nothing.
