::It's scary just how quickly this page has turned into some kind of theological rant. Additionally, the musings under the "How Old is the Earth" are not supported by credible references, and in some cases the references are broken links.

::I would defend any man's right to believe the Earth is any age which might fit his philosophy, but this is like something which would seem familiar to [[Galileo Galilei]]. Galileo doesn't have a page? [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 10:10, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

:::Could you be specific? Which points don't have references, or which references don't you consider credible? And which are broken? As far as I know, [[Galileo]] (see the blue link) believed that the Earth was created around 4,000 B.C. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:15, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

::::Reference #16 has a list of "facts". The facts are all dead links. Reference 17 relies upon the opinions of someone with any established credibility. I didn't go any further because the entire Young Earth Creation idea relies upon the belief that geologists worldwide are part of a vast conspiracy to push an atheistic agenda. I'm quite sure I can find a long list of things that Galileo thought, or would have thought, that have since been proven quite wrong, but to do so would be a waste of time. You will dismiss anything which does not support your interpretation of the Bible.
In my experience, mainstream geology finds natural resources. Young Earth Creation geology, on the other hand, finds arguments to support a religious agenda. There is nothing wrong with pursuing the theology behind Young Earth Creation, but it's a waste of time to put the two ideas in side by side. [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 12:03, 30 April 2007 (EDT)
