[TheGeezer]

I recently took courses in SQL database management and programming. The instructor had a B.S. in physics, was a certified Microsoft instructor, an MCNE, ran a successful software consulting business in addition to teaching at the business education center, and was a devout conservative Christian and young-earth enthusiast.

I'm no young-earth adherent, but this fascinating combination of personal experience and beliefs made private conversations with him very interesting.

I kind of scratch my head at "young-earthism," because as far as I can tell, the Bible doesn't actually mention the age of the Earth. Unless, of course, you believe that the universe was created in literally seven days. Which contradicts all experimental evidence, not just the fossil record. I'm just not sure what to make of it.
