Therefore, any article critical of any element of evolutionary theory can be used, because with the notion of above, the age of the universe is no longer an obstacle.

Yeah, I "understand" his point in doing that. But to me, it still makes no sense. To post articles which accept the true age of the Earth and the Universe requires such an enormous amount of cognitive dissonance. It disregards GGG's beliefs on geology, astronomy, biology, paleontology, so on and so forth. Only to hurl another vapid critique of evolutionary theory?

Then again, thinking more broadly, GGG is an HIV-AIDS denier as well. I've often wondered what one gains from HIV-AIDS denial... I think when one refuses to accept one major tenet of science (evolution), one therefore has free will to pick and choose which areas of science one chooses to accept. Denying evolution sort of "allows" GGG to deny HIV-AIDS and feel okay about it.

This same weird disconnect also allows one creationist here to believe that Saturn and Earth were nearby neighbors and gold will be created through z pinches and all his other nuttery. It allows other creationists here to be geocentrists and another to believe humans can regrow limbs through prayer.

Once you disconnect from reality in one realm, you are free to disconnect in others as it fits your paradigm. It goes without saying that religion often plays a part in this type of thinking, but that's a whole other discussion.

Interesting stuff.

Look Who’s Irrational Now

“’What Americans Really Believe,’ a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that traditional Christian religion greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of astrology. It also shows that the irreligious and the members of more liberal Protestant denominations, far from being resistant to superstition, tend to be much more likely to believe in the paranormal and in pseudoscience than evangelical Christians.”
