The Bible is NOT a science text book. I’m a Christian and I have no problem with the current scientific estimate of the age of the Universe and Earth.

A lot of people believe in chemtrails, bigfoot and “man made global warming” too. Science education in the Fruited Plain isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
