because of 2 reasons that I can think of

1: no scientific evidence for a young earth, and lots of scientific evidence for an old earth

2: the people who believe it (myself might be included) believe it strictly on faith

Here's a decent site for some research. http://www.arn.org/

"Providing accessible information on science, technology, and society from an intelligent design perspective."

When you establish the bias before you establish the facts, no one trusts your factual accuracy.

I think one of two things are responsible for such a belief, either the individual hasn't studied the subject, or has chosen to ignore the evidence.yoshi-lnex

See this is where I would post links and theories concerning on the concept of creationism. But form experience you and others like you won't read them or engage in a discussion on them.

Whois more dogmatic the evangelical christian or the science teacher. I say the science teacher.

Oh dear. be careful, this could get ugly. :D

If you're curious as to why many people are skeptical of this belief, you should probably reference this wikipedia article: Young Earth Creationism

To put it bluntly, a lot of people think it disagrees with our currently-held scientific knowledge. just my two cents, and I apologize in advance for offending you. :)

Heh, I save wiki for internet flamewars that won't ever be resolved - I usually track down the original source when it affects my GPA. :D

I think it's really funny how the only thing that separates jews and christians is the belief in jesus, and yet, the two groups are bitter enemies.

P.S-I didn't even watch the video yet. Might later tonight if i get too bored to do anything else.jeff16950_demon

What century are u in again? Bitter enemies?!! I think you could safelysay the Jewish people as a whole are weary of christians. I think most main stream christians understand the Judeo-christian dynamic.

Thought y'all might find this interesting.

I hear Jesus has good lawyers.....fattony173

[QUOTE="rimnet00"]I wonder how many people took this video seriously :|sSubZerOo

The video makes a pretty sound point.. Not that god exists or anything, just that the bible shouldn't be the ends all scripture to put your entire beliefs in with no other research.

I find it ironic that people don't realize if the originalbiblewas infact true or perfect it still has been translated and copied thousands of times by imperfect beings.. Thus making it imperfect this is assuming no one has rewritten with their odvious biases which I garentee that certainly affected the translation.

23 of the 27 NT books were written within 60 years of O A.D.

Here is a link to an apologetics page that my enlighten you to the errors that have crept in over the years:
