It could be worse. Mine believes there are aliens and that if CNN says it, it's true. :')

I do agree though that faith is not a science. (on both sides)

I was certainly educated as young earth creationist. I went to private church-sponsored schools through college.

I’ve since come to the conclusion that what I had been taught was a belief, a faith, a matter of perceived doctrine, but not really true or supported by the facts that we could really examine.

I guess at that point you have to make a choice. I go with the facts.

And modify my beliefs. It’s not an either/or thing between science and religion. It’s just not.

Yes, I don’t believe the world is 6,000 years old anymore. That’s absurd, in my opinion.

Even if it’s 4.65 billion years old and man evolved over time, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a God, and this wasn’t his plan.

The concepts are not in conflict except by those who insist they are for some other reason.
