I am growing increasingly concerned at how widely the Creationist Heresy has spread within mainstream Christianity. I used to think it harmless, comparable to St. Paul's vegetarians, but it now seems to be the biggest threat to orthodox Christian theology since the Arian heresy of the 4th and 16th centuries. Given the schismatic nature of Christianity today, with over 10,000 denominations, it seems unlikely that there could be an Ecumenical Council whereby Christians can confront Creationists on their heresy.
Can you call it heresy? Not being a creationist would be the heresy, would it not?
I have a few friends on FB who are creationists. One of them recently posted a picture from the Creation Museum and I corrected the science of it.She said that whenever she posts something Christian she gets attacked. I replied that it wasn't the Christianity, it was the inaccuracy.Still, that got me thinking. So I decided I'd drop this on my Facebook page.QuoteI am growing increasingly concerned at how widely the Creationist Heresy has spread within mainstream Christianity.

Is there any way anyone can see that I can strengthen the language up a bit?
Interesting approach. Concern trolling christians eh? I like it. You might point out that the YEC's are damaging the reputation of christianity and are an embarrassment not unlike the suicide bombers of islam or the abortion clinic bombers.
