How does linking me to more Creationist nonsense at all address my annoyance over being tricked into reading creationist dogma?

The earth isn't 6,000 years old. Dinosaurs did not co-exist with humans. In order for creationism to be right, all of scientific understanding would have to be wrong.

And how did we even come to the idea of 6,000 years? By some guys studying the Bible, a metaphorical text, half of which (Old Testament/Torah) wasn't even meant to be taken literally by its creators (the Jews). Yeah, I think I'll take radiometric dating based on the decay of carbon-14 (which goes back to around 60,000 years) and Uranium-lead dating (which goes back 4.5 billion) over metaphorical text written meant to teach the belief system of the first two monotheistic religions thousands of years ago, thanks.

I am not particularly well versed in science OR religion, mind you, but I have a passing interest in one and a decent amount of exposure to the other thanks to a few orthodox Jewish relatives. But until there is some genuine consensus within the scientific community the creationists MAY have a point, it is just fringe, unfounded science meant to justify the existence of God, thinly veiled as "scientific" research.

And no, I did not read the article, and if you still want to know why, just read the above again.

I didn't actually read the website, honestly.  Was just trying to find a quick site, at least the first 3 seem to religious/creation sites.  

Conspiracy?

Is this more up your alley?

....yes!

So you did not mean to link a creationist site? Darn, one annoyed rant wasted...(saves to word for future use)
