And always in the background is the certain knowledge that funding follows results and only spectacular finds get rewarded. Nobody rewards you for finding 350 year old remains. How much better if you can find 35,000 year old remains.

I see it this way... The more the ICR peddles the same lies year in and year out, the more funding they can extract from the faithful sheep who have never learned to think for themselves, while making them think that they are the poor renegades touting the "truth". How much better if you can be the one to get the Bible taught in science classes? Think of the prestige and ministry income then!

. . . the faithful sheep who have never learned to think for themselves . . .

Since you are above the faithful sheep, please tell us how much you know. Do you know how old the earth is? Do you know how it was formed? Were you there?
