That is what makes me angry more than anything else about religion.
A persons belief in a god or gods is personal.
Bu tthat people can maintain that Genesis is true in spite of all the evidence against it staggers me.
Then you see the lies and half truths they are prepared to perpertrate in order to support that belief.
In one forum discussion I was having I asked if the universe was only 6000 years old why did it appear
to be billions of years old.
The creationist replied that god made it "look" old.
When I made the point that this mean't that god was the greatest of all liars since he was deceiving us
all with a hoax universe I got no answer.
Well think of it this way, because of those reasons stated by you, they will NEVER defeat Evolution, and that's the main goal from the creationist movement, to defeat Evolution. But we all know that it's not going to happen. Sometimes, religious peoplejust don't understand what religion is. Religion is NOT reality, Science is. Science is the study of things in the natural world and basically in nature. Religion can't be reality because it involves the supernatural and superstition, and that's not nature and not reality. They can have their 2000 year-old beliefs if they want, but when they talk of the real world, religion just makes them look stupid.
But remember, they claim that faith is more powerful than evidence and proof. It's like saying "as long as I have faith, the moon is shaped like a triangle.
