How does saying that such hostile treatment is abnormal “erase” anyone’s lived experiences?
If you tell someone who lived only eating one meal a day during elementary school that they did not have a normal childhood, you are directly commenting ON their “lived experience”, not erasing it.
You seem to be conflating “that’s not normal” with “that never happens”, which is not reasonable.
I still think it’s proportionally right to say “that’s not normal”. Maybe it’s normal in the Southern United States, but it’s definitely not normal compared with the rest of Christendom.
Neither holds any water because it’s unfalsifiable. You could as logically argue it was created just now and our memories of the prior post history is part of the creation.
You said the earth being created old holds more water but it in fact does not.
The idea that the earth was created 5 minutes ago with our entire convo and indeed your entire life being an artifact of its creation should be manifestly absurd to you as you remember differently. This doesn’t get more reasonable if you push it back to 10 minutes ago, 10 years ago, or even 6000 years ago.
You should be able to see the continuity of the wrongness as the idea is carried backwards in time

30-40% in the US believe in young earth creationism
Not the fringest of beliefs. I find the whole ken ham “science is wrong” thing bizarre. But I think the “it was created old” view holds more water

If it was created now, then there still is a God.
