Ok everyone - while this YEC v OEC debate is obviously an important point - the real question is what to put into the article. I would like to re-suggest that we state that both atheist and non-Young earth Christians support the idea of an old earth - rather than what we have now, which only states atheist. Beyond that however- we're presenting the idea of an old earth in too much of a negative light. Andy and Phillip (et all) - while both of you obviously think that the earth is young, I think it's fairly obvious that many on this site disagree - and therefore I believe that we should not take a bias towards either side, and thereby I suggest that we drastically reduce the intro, and have maybe one sentence from each side - because if we do bullets like we have now - then this article is going to end up a war zone, and tit-for-tat arguing does nothing to build the encyclopedia.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 15:27, 24 November 2007 (EST)

: Where does your approach end, Iduan?  Must we also say in other entries that some Christians support same-sex marriage, [[abortion]], censorship of classroom prayer, banning of the Ten Commandments, etc.???  A good encyclopedia can present positions based on a majority without being paralyzed by each and every exception.  There is nothing wrong, for example, with observing and stating that the [[Founders]] of America were Christian, even if there may have been one or two exceptions.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:37, 24 November 2007 (EST)
