RE: Age
Quote:But the Bible tells us that this isn't the case.
So your assumption is that the Bible is true, and then your argument works fine. However, unless you can prove the Bible is true, it is an assumption, and is thus subject to error. I could just as easily write "The universe is 13.7 billion years old and all life evolved" on a piece of paper, and using that as an assumption, create a similar argument from *my* perspective, that favours *my* beliefs.

However, I don't do that. Why not? Because it's a logical fallacy and a piss poor use of reasoning.
