Many religious scholars agree that the 5000 year thing is a bit off the wall. There are some hardliners out there that still think that way.
Most will also agree that because the bible and those stories make no statement about what constitutes a day, or a year, that there is no true way to determine the time span. -----Original Message----- From: Howie Hamlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 6:01 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Bush wants religion taught in the science classroom If evolution from primoridal soup to modern man occurred in only 5000 years then would it not be valid to expect that man would have changed significantly since the beginning of recorded history? And, since this is not the case, then isn't it also valid to assume that evolution would have occurred over millions of years? After all, it's called "evolution" and not "revolution" <g> Howie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167710 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
