edit:

You know what, I just spent several minutes reading over a "refutation" of the famous Scientific American article dealing with creationists and I am embarassed to say that I had to be so forceably reminded that there are people for whom no evidence will ever be enough and that there are people for whom their faith rests in the absolute innerrency of the Bible in matters historical.

I have less and less tolerance for such conversations as I get older, much in the same way I would tire arguing with someone who believed the earth was flat and demanded equal school time to say so, so I think I'll bow out of this one.
