: Dan, virtually no one's [[faith]] survives the [[atheistic]] promotion of an old earth.  Perhaps only 1 in 100 can, and not much more than that.  Even if your [[faith]] survives, you'll be causing others to lose their [[faith]] by espousing an old earth.  This is as factual as observing how alcoholics lose their health over time.

: Personally, I didn't reject an old earth for reasons of [[faith]].  I completely accepted an old earth until I was about 40 years old.  I only rejected an old earth based a thorough open-minded application of logic and science that took several years.  Then, as an unexpected bonus, I found my [[faith]] greatly strengthened.  I had been taught all the lies about the Catholic Church embraced old earth (not true), about how science proves it (not true), about how everyone supposedly accepts it (not true), etc.

: One thing I've noticed is how a believer in an old earth will shy away from debate of the issue when he senses his belief in an old earth might be shaken.  That's how darkness works: it abhors light.  Most of the believers in an old earth would change their mind as soon as they allow it to be open, and allow logic to shine in.  Try it, please.  Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:10, 24 November 2007 (EST)
