: 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)

::Andy, come on. Obviously my goal is not to say that some Christians support the banning of the 10 Commandments. Seriously? You're mentioning things completely irrelevant to the point - and obviously the belief in an old earth is not a extreme minority opinion (as the others are) at all. The point is there is obviously a debate over this within the Christian community as proved by TK and DanH and you and Phillip (et all) - and belief in an old earth is a widely held opinion - just like belief in a young earth is weidely held - therefore both should be mentioned--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 15:45, 24 November 2007 (EST)

:Agreed. Most of the Founding Fathers were Christians, and there is no reason to deny that. There is slightly more diversity among leading Christians about the age of the Earth, as evidenced by the list here: http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/notable_leaders/index.shtml
I'm not saying these folks are the majority or even that they're right, but only that it is a fairly widely held view. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 15:52, 24 November 2007 (EST)
