The fact is, there is no winner or loser in this argument, except the one who refuses to research the other. I've learned about the origination of man by Evolutionists. Most of us have unfortunately. I was interested in disproving Creationism, but found simply too many holes in conventional wisdom. In honesty to myself, researched the other and came to a conclusion.


Geology really isn't my field of interest. Even if I dedicated my life to it I don't know if I would be particularly successful at independently verifying/disproving the age of the earth. I'm no chemist... I do know that the earth has to be quite old based on my interest in evolution (which is not at all casual) as well as my personal observations of fossils, erosion, etc. My interest in behavior also makes it quite apparent that the human mind is not well predisposed to scientific thinking. It can be done, but our human prejudices are quite difficult to tame.
