“Why oh why can’t people just believe what the Bible says about the earth being 6,000 years old and go from there I’ll never know.”

Yeah. Remember when the church arrested people for saying the earth circles the sun, rather than vice versa?

I call it using all of the faculties God gave us.

I know there’s a good joke in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.

Actually, in order for one object to be “circling” another, you have to assume that one is in a fixed position. Since modern science tells us that both the earth and the sun are in motion, its just as logical to say the sun is revolving around the earth as vice versa. Just sayin...
