Impossible. My son-in-law is a Christian fundamentalist and says the world has only been here for 5000 years max. Even the Grand Canyon was "created" in no time flat. Carbon dating is a hoax--untrue, inaccurate, and purely an attempt by atheistic scientists to disprove the bible. All the generally accepted views of millions and billions of years having been involved in universe history and the age of the earth is baloney. So, you see, my grandchildren are getting a solid foundation in common sense. How nice.

Not 5000 years, but 6 to 7 thousand years. I bet you feel real superior to a naive, dumb believer in fairy tales, huh? Just remember that:

"All of mans wisdom, is but foolishness in the eyes of the Lord"

Someone went through an awful lot of trouble to make it appear otherwise.

Yikes. This is what happens when one thinks the Bible was written in any other language than English.

I am afraid your grandchildren are being taught error. I do not believe evolution. I understand carbon dating is often wrong. BUT, the idea that the earth is only a few thousand years old....give me a break. I am a right-wing Christian, but I try to at least base things on SCIENCE when the issue is scientific.
