Man, talk about bias & motivation. Take a look again what you just wrote. (It's well respected highly intelligent geologists, who btw are not to be questioned because of their superior intelliegence VS. some brain dead religious folk that don't know squat.) Well, since I have lived longer than 12 days, I would immediately dispell the 12 day old theory. Other than that, what I've seen so far, I think the coin toss would be as good method as any.

I think you misunderstood me. Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear in my earlier post. What I intended to convey to you was that one group (geologists) has evidence, which you can verify for yourself if you care to do so. The other group has no evidence, other than some ancient and venerable writings, the sources of which are not available for verification.

So, now that I've explained the two alternatives -- verifiable evidence versus no verifiable evidence -- how do you decide which group to go with? Or is a coin toss still your favored technique?

The other group has no evidence, other than some ancient and venerable writings, the sources of which are not available for verification.

Are sure about this ? Or is it just one group has evidence you agree with, while the other group has evidence that with you do not agree ?

If I was to study the reasons for the "young earth" theory, are you telling me all I will stumble across is ancient writings and not one bit of scientific reasoning ?
