A light year is the distance it takes light to travel in one year at about 59 million feet per minute. If the universe is only 6,000 years old, then the light from W3 wouldn't have reached us yet, and we couldn't see it. Yet, there it is."<BR/><BR/>However, creationists believe that the speed of light has slowed down over the last 6000 years. Also, its been explained to me that the existence of dinosaurs fossils was the devil's work to fool mankind into disbelieving the word of God. <BR/><BR/>The lengths that people go to so that they can still believe is amazing.<BR/><BR/>cheers.Scot1andhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560353521307181651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-69310324050985317372008-05-13T09:07:00.000-05:002008-05-13T09:07:00.000-05:00you could also be open mindedAnd you'll need to be...<I>you could also be open minded</I><BR/><BR/>And you'll need to be, because you'll <A HREF="http://www.aboyandhiscomputer.com/Greetings_from_Idiot_America.html" REL="nofollow">forget how to breathe</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-32419428065265378432008-05-13T08:40:00.000-05:002008-05-13T08:40:00.000-05:00I wouldn't go that far ...I would.

If ScienceBlogs is any indication, the people there (Dr. Myers included) use the rantings and ravings of creationists as a reason to mock and ridicule all people of religious persuasion. I was taught evolution in my Biology class my freshman year in high school, and I've always understood it as scientific fact. It never dawned on me to adopt a "creationist point of view". Actually, my first run-in with a creationist was during my doctorate when I was teaching a Bible study class on Genesis at my church. Funnily enough, only the converts from Protestantism (of the Baptist persuasion) objected heavily to my commentary on the two creation stories. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-5554919565800425392008-05-13T08:21:00.000-05:002008-05-13T08:21:00.000-05:00How 'bout antibiotic-proof strep and ever emerging...How 'bout antibiotic-proof strep and ever emerging mutant strains of HIV?
