It does not change the fact the God created this world and all things about 6 thousand years ago. The funny thing is despite all the supposed fundamental scientific evidence about "evolution" and "big bang" theories, there are many people who are hearing one hour presentations by Answers in Genesis, and that one hour is all that they need to discount the "evidence" for evolution. This has especially frustrated teachers, Ken Hamm (president and founder of Answers in Genesis) has been personally confronted and attacked by educators. All are saying basically the same thing, "In one hour you have destroyed the foundation to all the concepts that I have been teaching all year" If it was such a solid case (the evidence of evolution) then organizations like Answers in Genesis would not be having the success that they are. For people who are sincerely struggling with this, I would highly recommend you find a Answers in Genesis conference hosted at a local church in your area, and make plans to attend it. |
Answers in Genesis? LOL. Feed outrageous lies to enough people, and some will be gullible enough to believe it. Those who do are of course shocked by the amazing "truth" that has been revealed to them about the horrible mistakes of scientists.
Anyway, it's just another example of people being "converted" to a religion; in this case, specifically creationist Christianity. And the converts are usually the most fervent in their belief. The teachers are understandably upset that their students suddenly have gotten a religion that thinks science is a lie.
[edit: By the way, don't misunderstand me: I have no problem with the Book of Genesis, as part of a religious text. But Answers in Genesis uses arguments that have been repeatedly disproven to try to "prove" that accepted science is wrong and that the Book of Genesis is a scientifically accurate telling of the formation of the world. I do have a problem with that.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
