You appear to be hindered by perspective. Try the following:

The guy is clearly very intelligent and well educated. These are just theories which can never be proven.(I can’t debate a PhD in Cosmology from MIT) I do think about the “how old is the universe?” question. It seems odd to me that it has a beginning, that it’s not eternal. My original intent was my dislike of using fear to push people towards religion. I think it has a net negative effect.

Just FYI, I do believe in God. I just don’t think the world is 6000 years old, nor do I believe in the “Rapture”.
