And there it is... The effort to shame anyone who even dares think outside the theological box. If you don’t believe it fine, why go out of your way to make sure no one else even discusses it without trying to shame them for doing so? There have been a whole lot of factual science and physics proven since your beliefs that originate from the personal self righteous theory of one cleric in the 1600’s.
Right off the bat geology alone disproves Ussher’s theory altogether. Being stuck in the 1600’s mentality does not further or help your own faith at all. It aids in discrediting the rationality and logic of your faith based on well known science. It does you no favors with your own argument and support of your faith. The Bible only indicates and suggests a MINIMUM age not a MAXIMUM age.
“Most likely, archaeological false teeth as these “discoveries” trying to predate man prior to about 6000 years sooner or later turn up bogus.”
It is only bogus to you because you personally refuse to accept anything other. If anything at all is proven sooner or later, it is like this find, OLDER not younger... and it keeps getting older and older as those who believe what you do remain stuck in the ignorance of the 1600’s. How many times does Ussher’s personal theory need to be proved wrong before you stop shoving it down the throats of others?

Hmmm...it seems that the past 100+ years have shown the exact opposite to be true - that the agnostics have been the ones to shame and outlaw Biblical AND scientific truths of things like creation.
It seems that the agnostic side is the side that deems questioning their very questionable conclusions as an threat and intrinsically and per-se false regardless of their inability to actually win the debate in the forum of ideas. It is the agnostics, not people like me, who want to shut down the debate - and they have done so regarding creation for the past 100+ years.
Truth always wins the debate in the forum of ideas. That is why the Left and agnostics don't like freedom of speech and open, good-faith debate, because against a reasonably intelligent opponent, they will lose every time.
