For those of you who asked here are my degrees.

BS in CS
BS in Math

Now i'm working on a MS/PHD in CS with a focus in scientific computing.

Now to address some of the things people have said (or more specifically assumed I said).

I did not say teach creationism or teach ID. No I said if you teach evolution then make sure you teach it as a theory and if there is any evidence against it present it also.

I have not done a lot of studing on this topic itself (from either the creationist or evolutionist point of view). I actually know more from the evolutionist point of view. But was recently exposed to some information that argued the earth was young. That was the information I posted. My pastor is snail mailing me the powerpoint now which might take some time to get here. When I get it i'll do my best to post the evidence he had in his presentation.

Again I stress, I am not saying teach creationism. I am saying teach evolution as a theory because that is what it is a theory. Today it is being taught as a fact. What happens if a year from now we discover something and we realize we were wrong but yet we said this was a fact.
