To: Laissez-faire capitalist

Absolutely not, but it is still not the best argument on the table.

ImJustAnotherOkie: "When it comes to the Age of the Earth the literal interpretation looses all credibility."

First of all, the "literal interpretation" (whatever that might mean) is not science, period, it's religion and cannot be taught as "science".

Second of all, both Old Testament (Psalms 90:4) and New (2 Peter 3:8) make clear that God's view of time is vastly different from our own.

Third, Genesis itself provides no scientific specifics on how God accomplished His creations.
We are therefore free to fill in the details with whatever scientific evidence and theories seem best.

Those are some of the basics on which all of western civilization's natural-science is built.
