I’m not putting him in a box, I’m simply declining to climb into an intellectual coffin and being buried alive in bovine scatology.
Your vision shows a Supreme Being with no greater imagination than a Dungeons and Dragons fanatic: any tinpot dictator god can create the world in a flash and a minute. I find a God who takes 13.9 billion years to create the human race and to create ME through a REAL act of ex-nihilo Creation to be *far* more impressive.
The reason why you pathetically hold on to this young earth foolishness is simple: the thought that the universe is not made precisely as stated in the Genesis recipe is intolerable because it reveals biblical literalism to be the stinking BS that it is.
And yes, I DO believe in the Resurrection along with accepting the Big Bang: a God that can cook us out of His primordial soup in 13.9 billion years is of course capable of much else.
But your pathetic clinging to objective falsehood (6000 year old Earth? heh....) against all evidence shows that you are really afraid of having your religious prejudice challenged by reality.
So, go ahead and believe the earth is 6000 years old if you want. (You’ll still go to Heaven anyway, most likely.) But in the meantime the grownups will go on doing what needs to be done.
Sorry Stultis, that was actually meant for Regulator
