Tony: I could list study after study after study that demonstrates my point, but you seem rather determined not to see it, which is, ironically, actually my point. Scientist are so hung up on their theories that they can not see the forest for the trees. All of the data staring them in the face that tells them that they are wrong and they ignore it or discard it because it doesn't fit their precious theories.

> I think the fact that I am a biblical theist tends to lead to the assumption that every argument I make has to do with creationism or religion. The truth is. This is just bad science. Its no different than the religious fundamentalism of the YEC. Do I think we have the age of the Earth right? No, but it doesn't really make a difference to me either way. It could be a little older, or a lot younger, who knows. The one thing I do know for certain is that the theory of evolution has poisoned the scientific well, and every discipline that has drunk deeply from that well has become sick and twisted, discarding their reason and ethics in favor of dedication to an ideal.-No, I do see your point, but I prefer to trust science generally. I don't care either tht the age of the Earth is 4.5 or 4.7 years old. I don't think the average scientist is as twisted as you imply. But in theoretical science string theory is swallowing a huge number of careers, and they are fighting tooth and nail to save it and their livelihoods, and that is intellectually dishonest On another tack, you are absolutely correct about theoretical evolutionary theories and Darwinist type scientists. Just like the stringy folks.
