:::: As far as the existence of a creator God not requiring a young Earth is concerned, this is only true if the creator god is one of your own making; it is not true of the creator God described in the Bible. The "evidence" for the long ages is in the rock layers containing fossils, which bear evidence of death, suffering, cancer, etc. This would make the creator God the creator of death, suffering, disease, etc. before the appearance of man, whereas the God of the Bible can only do good, and made a good world that ''subsequently'' became bad when mankind rejected God.

::: We all know that '''your'' God is incompatible with an old Earth, fair enough, but we also know that the God of 60% of all American is incompatible with it. No need to convince me, convince the 60% of Americans that disagree with you. To clarify the difference, consider the following questions
::::* Would the creator God of the bible have been able to create the Earth 6000 years ago?
::::* Would the creator God of the bible have been able to create the Earth 10.000 years ago?
::::* Would the creator God of the bible have been able to create the Earth 100.000 years ago?
::::* Would the creator God of the bible have been able to create the Earth 100.000.000 years ago?
Most Christians answer "Yes" to all of these questions. He is all powerful, isn't he. A creator god that wouldn't be able to create an old earth, wouldn't be exactly all powerful. You however try to answer the following question:
::::* Did the creator God of the bible create the Earth 6000 years ago?
::::* Did the creator God of the bible create the Earth 10.000 years ago?
::::* Did the creator God of the bible create the Earth 100.000 years ago?
::::* Did the creator God of the bible create the Earth 100.000.000 years ago?
You can answer at most one of these with "Yes", and we know that you will answer "Yes" to the first question, and "No" to the others . But we also know that 78% of all American answer the same question it with "No", and believe that the earth has been around for a long time. [[User:Order|Order]] 22:21, 27 November 2007 (EST)
