I bet you think the earth is only 6000 years old.
"Too often young earth proponents have failed to distinguish scientific arguments for creation by design from scientific arguments for a young earth, and have therefore prevented old earth advocates from joining them in a battle for the minds of an unbelieving scientific community.
Moreover, young earth proponents have sometimes failed to recognize that scientific arguments for a young earth (which seem to them to be very persuasive) are not nearly as strong as the overwhelming scientific arguments for creation by intelligent design.
As a result, young earth proponents have too often given the impression that the only true "creationists" are those who believe not only in creation by God, but also in a young earth. ....
It is likely that scientific research in the next ten or twenty years will tip the weight of evidence decisively toward either a young earth or an old earth view, and the weight of Christian scholarly opinion (from both biblical scholars and scientists) will begin to shift decisively in one direction or another.
This should not cause alarm to advocates of either position, because the truthfulmess of Scripture is not threatened our interpretations of Genesis 1 have enough uncertainty that either position is possible). Both sides need to grow in the knowledge of the truth, even if this means abandoning a long-held position."
