Stones like stalagtites that take millions of years to form yet have formed under US monuments? Let's face it man's ability to date things back is credulous at best. When I get the power point i'll post it and you guys can have a hay day. But conversations like this are pointless, this is why I didn't say teach creationism in schools. I said if you teach evolution make sure you provide both the evidence for and against it. Scientists keep revising their theories on the age of the earth. Now it is something like 4.5 billion years old. Yet many scientists are saying it would take much more than 4.5 billion years for evolution to do what it has. If we teach evolution we should present both sides it is only fair. (and by both sides i don't mean creationism, just present the flaws in evolution also)
