Did you see my post a few back where I mentioned Ussher, the man responsible for the 6,000 year old idea? (post#296) The calculations he did were questionable at best. Since science obviously disproves this, then his calculations were wrong. This issue is addressed in a book "The Fingerprint of God" by Hugh Ross, which I've also mentioned before. Scientists like Newton, Kepler, and Galileo who believed in creation, saw no conflict between what their calculations predicted for the size and age of the universe and the Bible. This only became an issue after Ussher's calculations, which some people have accepted as fact. If he had not done this, there would be no controversy. Indeed.
Any many of us who are scientists are also Christian and see no controversy between science (including evolution) and Christianity. Indeed, I would argue, as a matter of my personal faith, that the pursuit of understanding of God's magnificent creation (in the form of science) is one form of worship.
