Ken Ham, Henry Morris
I am familiar with these two and hold them trustworthy in their studies of creation/science. I don't know who you espouse as "experts" for your theories but I doubt if they hold a candle to Ken Ham and Henry Morris.
In regards to this:It is much simpler to follow someone who is an "authority" than it is to compare reality to misinterpretation of Scripture.
I have this to say about this sentence, Huh?
They are trustworthy in studying nonsense? How nice.
