Hi, Faith. I did not expect you to be persuaded by Pat Robertson. He suffers from a serious case of "foot in mouth" disease, and that cannot have gone unnoticed even amongst fundamentalists.
What Robertson said won't persuade anybody that creationism is wrong. But it will persuade some people (correctly), that evangelical theology is not nearly as rigid on the question as they had been led to believe.
Faith writes:No it is not Bishop Ussher, it is the Bible. We can all add up the numbers, we don't need Bishop Ussher although his calculations are probably the most trustworthy.
Have you ever tried adding up the numbers?
No, I haven't either. But I'm pretty sure that if you tried, you would find that they didn't all connect up. You would find that you were having to make stuff up as you went along.
