"You seem like a nice young man, just try to keep an open mind and learn not to trust everything the media feeds you. They have an agenda too. I was a diehard atheist when I was your age, but over time the Lord softened my heart and eventually I was able to open my eyes and see the Truth."

Gee - at 43 I would hope to be called "young man" more often, but the neighborhood kids call me the "Cranky Old Coot" (Little varmints!).

Honestly, what you did was throw a lot of math at me that I didn't understand and then tell me what it was supposed to mean. I'm used to that from years of listening to NPR (being told what things mean - I love to listen to what the Other Side is thinking). But when it comes to being told lots of science I don't understand I tend to go with the general consensus, which runs against your point.

Sorry,

I thought your were an art history student. All I did was test the hypothesis that the Earth was 1 billion years old and I disproved it.

Think about it. Do you really believe the Earth has been in the solar system for 1 billion years. The solar system is an incredibly violent place. Just a few years ago we saw a comet smash into Jupiter. That comet would of flattened the Earth if it hit it. We have only been looking into the Solar System for 100 years or so and we saw 1 potential planet destroying event. A billion years is a long time. During this time the Earth would of been pushed by the Sun's light, solar flares, asteroids, comets, etc. There is no way its orbit would of remained constant. It is impossible.
