everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but unless you believe the bible contains facts the creationist theory doesn't exactly hold water.
while i respect that there are plenty of people in this world who do believe everything in the bible, there are plenty of us who don't as well. and unless someone can provide me with proof that there is an omnipotent being and that this being created earth and all that is on it--i choose not to believe it.
and unless this article is 20 years old, evolution is not taught as fact in government schools. i attended public school for 12 years and not once was i told that evolution was fact, it was presented to me as a theory. i have however, attended plenty of church services that presented creationism as fact with the only thing to back it up being the bible and faith.
if someone wants to believe that the earth is only about 6000 years old--more power to them. personally, i'll put my faith in science. hell, even the christians can't agree on creationism--how can they expect the rest of the world to accept it?
