God, is the guy who scribbled this article an idiot....

You dare question this amazingly brilliant article? See comment 11 for a foretaste of what is coming to you.

For what it's worth, I am a conservative, committed Christian who believes the entire Bible. I'm just embarassed by these Young-Earth Creationists who post nonsense like this -- they keep educated people from coming to know Christ. Please don't judge all Christians by what you read in posts like this.

As one of the Church Fathers put it:

Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for a non-believer to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn."
--St. Augustine

Soooo explain how people are brought to Christ by defending the godless liberal ACLU, and NEA, and DEMANDING children be taught God “has no place in science class” (among just about everywhere and anywhere else) while denying His creation...

but give me 3 minutes so I can pop some popcorn.

Except for the 100 + places where it says that evolution didn't happen, and the places where the Lord himself confirms the six day creation. Other than that, and most of the Bible, you're good to go.
