"so you and your fellow believers can live happily with the "fact" that the big G created the universe and every thing in it in seven days about 12k years ago and thats a given not to be questioned"
===============================================================

hap...

That is true -- we believe different things, and that is ok. You believe the earth is millions of years old and that we evolved from nothing into what we see around us by mere chance. I believe the Bible. I believe the universe, the earth, and all that is in them were created by God in six days. I do not know how long ago that occurred, but suspect it was not more than 10-15,000 years ago and quite possibly less than that -- but certainly not millions of years. You base your set of "facts" on science, I base mine on the Word of God but both of us consider our beliefs to be facts. Neither of us can prove our position to the satisfaction of the other, so neither of us will change the mind of the other.

If the Bible is correct, we will instantly know the real truth of the matter as soon as we die, but by then it will not matter, for our lives here on earth will be over and we will be beginning our eternal existence, either with God or apart from Him. Who was right about how old the earth is will not matter at all.
