Ya know recently, there was someone on a message board (Board name hidden to protect this persons identity) I post on that started saying how he and his new girlfriend both believe the earth is old, and that anyone (Young Earth Science) who challenges that must be somehow using "Junk Science".

Seems sad that folks like that will automatically dismiss solid evidence (after all - both sides of the argument all have the same evidence to work with) because it helps prove the Biblical account of Creation.

I can't help but think they widely accept Old Earth because anything to help further their own misguided beliefs into "no God" or a humanistic theology helps them feel better about their own inability to decide whether or not there really is a God who DID create them, loves them and longs to have a relationship with them.
