Believing that the earth is only 9000 years old might.
Well, the Gaia satellite launching next year will be able to measure the distance to stars by parallax (no use of red shift, etc.) to the galactic center, about 30,000 light years, which, in a rational world, would put the last stake in the decomposing carcass of 6,000-9,000 year old Young Earth Creationism.
This not being a rational world, I expect the idiots of Answers in Genesis and their ilk to do elaborate hand-stands involving the speed of light changing rapidly in the last 6,000 years, the principles of triginometry being wrong, etc. Should be amusing to watch.
No matter how old the world is God created it. He does this on his time schedule, not ours.
“Believing that the earth is only 9000 years old might. “
Ah. Better tell Galileo. And Linnaeus, Mendel, Kelvin, Pasteur, Agassiz, Newton, Pascal. . .
technophobes all!
