Have ther not been many great scientists who believe in the Bible? Isaac Newton for example? Are there not Xian scientist now who believe in the Bible and know a great deal more about science than you do?

I don't actually have a problem with the majority of science. Actually I only have a problem with evolution (which disagrees with the Bible) being touted as fact when it isn't. I have no reason to believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, except for that science says that it is that old. I have no problem with that. It doesn't conflict with my understanding of the Genesis account so there is no reason for me to doubt that the earth is 4.5 million years old. I don't know how they have come to this conclusion but I suspect it might have something to do with light traveling from space and an estimation of rocks on earth.
It is important for me to point out that it doesn't really matter to me how old the earth is.
