Young-earthism, old-earthism, darwinism/evolutionary thought...They are ALL theories, not Laws.
I often wonder why, then, that evolution is being taught as if it is indeed a Law.
"Most people in the intelligent design movement agrees that the universe is old. Old age does NOT equal naturalistic evolution. Old age does NOT help evolution. "
No, but Old Age DOES fly in the face of the fundamentalist Creationists who insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible.
IMO, the proponents of Creationism and Intelligent Design are making philosophical and theological appeals. But true science is not democratic, and is not open to populist debate.
