How many on the News Talkers believe the Earth is less than 10,000 Years old.

Just to get an Idea as we have quite a cross section of Republicans, Democrats, Independents and many Religions. Three Questions. 1. Is the earth millions of years old or possibly older? 2. Do you believe in evolution? 3. Is Adam and Eve the start of Humanity?

I have a better 4th question:

Who created god? And no fair saying some indefensible crap like he created himself, or he always has been and always will be, yadda yadda, and claiming the buck mystically stops there. (pssssst ... best answer - "man")

That question can't be answered with yes or no . My Q was getting at the issue of belief . The average person who accepts that the earth is billions of years old is doing that based on belief in what scientists say . It is not based on a genuine understanding of the measurement ...

... unless you're a scientist, in which case it IS based on a genuine understanding of scientific measurement ...

Ahem, meaning that the scientist is far more likely to be correct in their understanding of scientific measurement. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be advocating for stupidity to rule.

1. The earth is billions of years old.

2. Yes

3. No, other than as a symbol for the first intellectually aware humans. But then, Gorillas are intellectually aware, as are dolphins, whales, etc.

If one believes in the literal story of Adam and Eve, they must also accept that humanity was founded by INCEST.

1- I haven't the slightest idea how old the earth is, nor do I care. Why does it matter?

2. Nope- trying to get us to fall for that evolution stuff is a Communist plot-- a plot by the same folks who are trying to get us to give up our health care plans-- even if we like them, these big government Socialist stooges won't let us keep them!

3. Who is this Adam dude? (And that dudette Eve-- wasn't she a famous porn star?).

One thing I do know though-- the earth ain't round-- if it were, the people on the bottom would fall off. Any fool knows its gotta be flat!

And 911 was a hoax-- the official story is just more Islamophobia! Everyone knows that burning jet fuel can't melt steel! It was obviously the government who was behind it!

Next question?
