ALS states: "Anyone with a decent concordance can quickly see that there is no reference to the earth or the universe being created 6,000 years ago. Yes I know so many have been TOLD that, it will cause confusion, and a need to defend what you don't even understand, because none of you have taken the time to check it out. It doesn't matter if you are atheist or fundamentalist. Anyone can still check it out.

The bible clearly says that the earth was perfect in its creation, yet in the 2nd verse of Genesis it says this:

1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The english translation contains the key to misunderstanding by ALL of you. At first glance it appears to be a continuation of verse 1:
1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

While there is much to digest here, and while I'm sure ALS has spent of good portion of his or her life studying the good book, my response is, "yeah, so what?" By that I mean, you claim you are above the fray and you have developed the unifying theory of Crevo. Ok... So tell my why god, in his infinite perfectness, screwed up to the point where this argument even exists (I'm talking about the "argument" amongst believers here). oh wait, is that that baddie Beelzebub rearing his head again? Sure it is... Satan exists to "confuse" and mock and put fossils in the strata and infiltrate scientist's minds. And you call us, "Children?!" Go back to your fairy tales cop out explanations.

"so what", means if you plan on arguing against another point, you better have a clue what it is. It's irrelevant if the bible is full blown truth or made up, if you want to reduce yourself to ground level by poo-pooing it, have a reason based on what it says, not your own personal embarassments that we'll all see what an amoral loser you are.
