:I've begged you to reconsider the liberal assumptions with an open mind. I've begged you to open the Bible and spend some meaningful time reading it with an open mind. But I can't and wouldn't force you to do either. What I will do is keep the atheistic nonsense off this site, unless you want to post it under a new entry entitled "liberal claims lacking in scientific verification."

::The radial velocity of the Andromeda galaxy with respect to the Milky Way can be measured by examining the Doppler shift of spectral lines from stars in the galaxy. Using this the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Sun at about 100 to 140 kilometers per second.[http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/astronomy/galaxy_collides_020507-1.html] We can then estimate how long it would be before the galaxies meet up using math. That is how we get the estimate of 2.5 billion or so years. I will however concede that the collision is uncertain because the two galaxies may move past each other instead because we cannot exactly measure Andromeda's transverse velocity. Because of that, I will change the text about the galaxies colliding to being uncertain. Is this acceptable?
