Re: Two Simple Questions for Faith
But we do have to reconcile the age of the earth with the Bible.
If 'we' don't accept your interpretation of the Bible telling you the earth is young, then we don't get to the great meet-up in the sky when we die, correct?
Heaven must be pretty empty, since so few people agree with you.

Another take on the debate
I found this article very interesting - I see where Faith gets a lot of her talking points.
How Liberty University Creates Creationists
As a Christian professor who has tangled with evangelical institutions over evolution, I am often invited to don the mantle of heretic. The invitation typically comes in the form of an interview in which I am asked to respond to questions that will identify me as a liberal-throw-the-bible-under-the-bus lost soul who has no business calling himself a Christian.
I recently received two such requests in a week. One email came from a sophomore at Liberty University, as part of an assignment for the course Creation Studies 290: History of Life. Founded by Jerry Fallwell in 1971, Liberty is the largest evangelical university in the world if you include its large population of online students, and America’s largest nonprofit university. Creation Studies 209 is required of all of Liberty’s 100,000-plus students and claims to provide a thorough understanding of the creation-evolution controversy, and draws upon knowledge from religion, science, philosophy and history.

Americans United for Separate of Church and State is also mentioned as complaining
Faith, AU is not an atheist organization, the executive director is Reverend Barry Lynn.
Page not found - Americans United
You really ought to research a bit, you always look so ignorant when you get easy stuff like this wrong.
