So I read yesterday that scientists now feel the Earth is 70 million years younger than they originally calculated which means that it's 4.46 billion years as opposed to 4.53 billion years old. But when you are taling 4 billion years plus what really is another 70 million years. The funny thing is that this piece of science will lead to something very diferent.
You just know this will give fuel to the lunatics who take the Bible literally and will tell you the age of the earth is 6000 years old. There is no better way to separate the crazies from the sane than the simple question of how old the earth is.
A sensible person will tell you roughly 5 billion years old, somebody who should probably be committed will say roughly 6000 years. By the way if you believe this than you also must acknowledge that man and dinosaur roamed the earth together which would mean that my great-great-great grandfather slid down the back of a brontosaurus when he got out of work at 5pm every-day.
The Bible is a great book I'm sure but the best point I have ever heard is
Mother Goose (or most any other popular collection of children's stories) is a collection of fictional stories each of which teaches the reader some lesson about morality.

Other than that one has talking animals and the other has Supercarpenters,
