re: #52 Gus 802

The Biblical literalists of course are stuck into thinking that the Earth is 6000 years old. So in the case of New Mexico do some of their citizens intend on denying their own natural history? Shiprock itself is was began it’s formation well over 27 million years ago as determined through radiometric dating.

Clearly we can then see that “other scientific studies” would become controversial for these people. This goes beyond evolution and these literalists would have to find geology and radiometric dating controversial. It is as if though they are part of a religious sect from the age of antiquity.

God can speed up and slow down time….tomorrow if he wanted, Shiprock could be flat as a pancake, another of his cool inventions
