Only a few of your scientists lives long enough to encounter Darwin's ideas, and not one lived long enougn to see DNA evidence.

Lord Kelvin should not be on the list. He estimated the age of the earth to be 100-400 million years -- hardly Biblical. He later revised his estimate to several billion years.

Depends on what you call Biblical.

The Bible does NOT SAY what the world was BEFORE it was FORMLESS AND VOID before Adam.

I personally believe that God could have and evidently did mush things over completely and start over maybe a large number of times before history as we know of it.

DNA evidence is strongly in favor of ID. It's amazing to me that rational, intelligent people could construe it otherwise. LOL.

We shall eventually see how many super sharp scientists of our era really believe in Creationism and how many don't. I think a lot of those that do are wimps about admitting it because of tenure and other important $$$$ things.

Only a few of your scientists lived long enough to encounter Darwin's ideas . . .

And so we must wholesale the Theory of Evolution while barring all other possibilities from the classroom? Sure.

. . . and not one lived long enough to see DNA evidence.

If they had they would have said along with the rest of those who know such things: "It most certainly is not by chance that you are here and are able both to observe and to contemplate life."

The point is, evolutionists have no monopoly on science. They never have, and they never will. It would be no surprise to me if science has not suffered over the past century and a half due to stultifying stigmatisms foisted upon those who have the sense to realize where the universe came from and what it is about.
