Has evolutionism become a leading religion?

Does not this statement alone assert than sudden and drastic changes are capable of happening anywhere and at anytime in creation? Does not this statement completely contradict the uniformianism that is the very basis of statements such as "23 million years ago". And furthermore, there is still a HUGE difference between 23 million, and 4 BILLION years.(which of course science dates the universe much older than the earth). Pel, all of this is based on a faulty starting point.

Jason, it's difficult for me to formulate an answer to your question that doesn't include the word "pinhead."

The star is 20,000 light years away. That means whatever we see NOW when we look at the star occurred 20,000 years ago. It took the light from the explosion 20,000 years to reach us. The star "became one of the brightest stars in the galaxy as observed from earth in 2002."

You do understand that light DOES NOT travel instantaneously, don't you? You do understand that the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second, don't you? Small children can work this one out.

There IS a "HUGE difference" between 23 million and 4 billion years ago. However, YOUR interpretation of Genesis 1, says that the universe is only six THOUSAND years old! I have given you evidence that the universe is AT LEAST 23 million years old and you have fumbled and bumbled with that.

Can you imagine what those "Tithes" arguing preachers are saying about your ability to think logically now?

What do you mean "AGAIN?"

I said, "While criticizing Obama will keep you on my good side, the comparison fails. The creation itself does testify to BILLIONS of years." Try to keep up.

I am extremely grateful for the men and women who work so hard to preserve human life and to make that life comfortable and fulfilling. These people are called "scientists." Most of them are also believers. They can effectively help a family in need because they follow scientific principles based upon years of observation, research and careful analysis.

They can also look at a star that is 20,000 light years away and understand how the light they see left that star 20,000 years ago. Anyone who refuses to see that isn't just at loggerheads with me over a "doctrinal difference." They are just being too dishonest with themselves and with others.

You really need to take an inward look here, bro. 2 Timothy 3:13.
