→If this is a joke, it's not that funny.: Christianity and science and creation dates.

:I agree that religion usually slows down interest in science, but Christianity is the exception to that rule, ''as previously pointed out''. So why the continuing objection?
:Belief in a creator dates back to Adam, not Abraham.
:What do you mean, the Bible never mentions a creation date? What would you expect it to say? Perhaps you'd expect Moses to have written that it was created in 4004 '''B.C.'''? Hardly. If it was to mention a creation date, how would it best do so? What it does is give a list of time spans that can be added to work out when creation occurred. That's about the best you could hope for, and that is what it does. And even non-YEC experts agree that this is what was intended. I assume that you are alluding to Ussher calculating the date of creation in 1650. But Ussher was not the first nor the last to do so; just the best known.
:You are still treating all religions as equal with your comment about the chances of Christianity being the correct one, and it is still just as illogical. And Christianity makes no assumptions that contradict science.
