Yes or No. Is the universe 12,000 years old? Dont hide behind your bible. No but

[CheeseWhiz]

It could be two seconds old for all I know.

No... We know that for sure.

While I respect your beliefs in the matter, and I myself don't believe this to be true (where did 12,000 come from, anyway?  I thought it was 6,000 years, not 12,000) no one can really say you know for sure unless you get a time machine and check yourself.  I don't even say that I know for absolute sure that evolution isn't true, I just don't think it is.

Don't blind the ignorant with science; it'll only confuse them.

Who are you referring to when you say "the ignorant"?  Hopefully you don't mean everyone who rejects the theory of evolution, do you?

[CheeseWhiz]

One of the problems we have is that science can mean absolutely nothing to people of 'faith.' It is simply ignored by them, or science is claimed to be 'anti' something or other . If homosexuality for example is (and it probably will be soon considering recent research) proven to be genetically inclined and apparent in embryos, those who use 'faith' to be anti-gay will simply ignore thousands of scientists or claim they are pursuing a 'gay agenda.'

I really can't see how that relates at all with our rejection of evolution.  Sure, some take it to the extreme, but so do some evolutionist.

Now you're being pretty harsh on religious people, don't you think?  I'm religious, and have I been like this?  It's really only a handful extremist that act like how you say, just like the extremist Muslims put a bad image on the rest of them.

Huh?  Now you're just sounding kind of weird   I reject evolution because after much research I believe it just has too many flaws.  Yes, it has a lot of evidence, and yes, it's a very interesting theory, but I think a lot of people accept it blindly and them condemn those who do the same thing in reverse.  Yes, of course evolution could be true, I don't believe it is, but I have been wrong before, but some people need to accept that it could be false, too.

God could speak to people who ardently reject any belief whatsoever in a Deity, or maybe not. I'm not sure. All I can say is that you have dumb Creationists and smart ones, just as you have dumb Evolutionists and smart ones. Keep that in mind, kids.

^^^^^

That's pretty much all I was trying to say

[CheeseWhiz]

I am not going to say what I believe, because y'all will just bash me and put me down for it.

I'm fine with other people having faith, I just don't like being told I'm a fool who's going to hell simply for not believing in it myself.

I think that goes for both sides, minus the going to hell part if it's the evolutionist telling the creationist that he's wrong   Really, no one can say for certain how old the Earth is.  Yes, people can make educated guesses, but for anyone to act like they know and that's that is just being plain foolish, whatever he or she believes.

Seriously everyone, what exactly is the point in arguing over it?
