Re: Good news
If someone chooses to believe that the Bible is right and scientific evidence is irrelevant, that's their personal choice, and I don't have a problem with it. When they use pseudoscientific arguments to try to support it and try to get that pseudoscientific trash taught in schools, I havea big problem with it.
If you believe an omnipotent God created the earth, he could have created it any damn way he wanted to, complete with the sediments, fossils, radioisotopes, etc. that make it appear to be much older than it really is. Therefore, I think if you believe, as a matter of faith, that the creation story in the Bible is literally true, and that biblical evidence demands a creation date only about 6,000 years in the past, it's silly to try to refute scientific evidence.
The stuff most creationists (especially young earth creationists) come up with to try to refute the scientific interpretation is so silly that it actually undermines their position.
