First off, I'm not having a go so don't take it the wrong way, but I'm happy to cop it if I'm wrong in any way.
Do you really think that the world is only 5,000 years old, Andrew?
Even with all the proof to back it up?
Also, with the historical documents. There's no proof to back those up either so I wont start a shit fight over it. All I really know is, scientists have proven earth has been around for 5 billion years, thus disproving the bibles 5,000 year old theory.
Evolution is happening right now, animals, humans, bacteria, yeast ( viruses aren't classified as life). Go looking, and you will find it. Easy not to find stuff, if you don't want to find it, yet I am quite happy to have the truth the sphincter of the universe slapped across my face once it's finally found.
Just like Scientology though, someone made that up, yet some people now are calling it fact and it's only new!
