I think the greatest concern here is WHO GAVE HIM A DEGREE IN GEOLOGY?? I only took one introduction to geology course in college, but you couldn't possibly leave that class thinking anything but that Earth is billions of years old.

yes!

Yup! The second they allow the questions to begin dominos begin to fall

@MarvelAnn with religion, people will pick and choose what they believe in. Or rather, what they will apply to their daily lives. The Bible EXPLICITLY says that the Universe was made by god, in a weeks time, in a certain order, etc. If that is not right, then why explicitly define it? Science gives explicit formulas for the workings of the universe. Once agreed up, they are absolutely right. They talk about the upset Einstein brought to Physics. Newton's equations were no longer correct. But, when you learn what Einstein changed, it only applies for things moving near the speed of light. Otherwise, Newton's equations are unchanged. What kind of excuse is it to blow off the definition of the universe's creation in Billions of years, vs a couple of days? I've heard the term "true believer" used. The fact is, the "extreme conservative" believer is the "true believer", who takes everything in the Bible serious. The others? They are liars. Just going along with the traditions and culture, does not make you a "true believer". Most people are followers, just going along with the crowd. They have not internalized the beliefs for themselves. Those that have, seldom want to hear the factual evidence, that their world view is wrong.
