"Unfortunately, the dogmatic and unscientific approach to conducting and discussing science is becoming more prevalent the more science becomes divorced from its Christian roots."
Young earth Christians aren't much different. They unwittingly so disregard science, and/or education, they feel qualified to speak to the age of the universe after a reading of an ancient Hebrew document in a very western civilization, scholastic manner. They don't feel the need for any expertise in any discipline that would give them any credibilty in this arena. Frustrating. I can make a pretty good Biblical argument for an old earth and one for a young earth; the reality is I don't know how old the earth is, and I probably shouldn't be telling people I do.
YES!!! I love this.
I'll be sharing this with my journalism class. It is exactly what I need.
"Christians are not immune to these corrupting influences. We are all fallen and we live in a fallen world"
"Sin doesn't have a place of its own, it can only corrupt the good that already exists. Before there was an evil genius, there was a genius." (unk)
Thank you.
