What else CAN they offer? Try to claim that Andromeda is only 6,000 light years away?
The biggest problem with their apology is it effectively makes Yahweh-Jesus a liar. If the light only appears to indicate the universe is 2 million+ years old, then Yahweh has tricked me. How then can we be certain of anything that comes from his scripture?
Quote:The other baffling thing to me is why people get so worked up with evolution anyway. It has nothing to do with the existence/non-existence of a higher power. The only thing is really shoots in the face is a literal interpretation of Genesis which even some Christians think wasn't intended to be literal in the first place.
If Genesis isn't literal, there was no literal fall from grace. No fall from grace means no need for Jesus to redeem us on the cross. No Jesus on the cross means no Christianity. Game. Set. Match.
