Is time really annoying to Fundies?

Was just checking out Venus, and I used wiki to see what it has to say about Solar System vis vis "The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it, all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago."

If you firmly believe that God created the universe about 6000 years ago, I can appreciate how paranoia might evolve with the overwhelming scientific data being pushed upon you.

How do you reconcile the disparity and stick fast to your belief as you see every day confirmation of contradictory opinion derived from real life observations?

I mean, basically youre asserting thst the majority of the inhabitants of this planet are completely diluded but you, against the trend, are one of the elite few individuals so clever that you have not been hoodwinked. Is that it?

    I'm an "old earth" creationist. No problems here.

    Don't assume all Christians hold the view you've outlined.

    Young Earth creationists have no idea how absurd they seem. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time..
