Amber Listserv / Amber and the Bible

[Don Bailey]

Please, please, please!  lets not get started on religion.
   
  It is a VERY, VERY small portion of Christians that believe the earth is 6000 years old.  I worked for at the Dr. Robert Schuller and the "Hour of Power" television show for 9 years and met dozens of well know Christian leaders and NONE of them thought the earth was 6000 years old.
   
  Don't take the beliefs of a very few Christians and generalize it to all Christians.  That is like seeing a black man being arrested for murder and then calling all blacks murderers.

Yup, that "explains" everything.  By the way, scientists think the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, not 2.5 billion.   
  
   It really is sad that so many people do not understand even the most basic precepts of science.  For example, they think a "theory" means a guess, that each theory is as good as another.  They do not comprehend that  theories are based on observable phenomena, that theories explain all the observed phenomena until something comes along which doesnt fit the theory, and then it is changed. It is a rigorous process.   
  
   Believing the Earth is 6000 years old is not a theory, and neither is intelligent design or creationism.  It is an opinion with absolutely no facts to sustain it.  Faith is not a fact, faith is a belief, an opinion.   
  
   It is a sad state of affairs when so many people in this country are lacking in the most fundamental ability to reason and analyze.  Sad.
