A denial of fact

I was just thinking to myself that as a younger man I often thought of scientists or those interested in the subject of science to be boring, dull, annoying, and often infuriating people. Those geeks running around with their pocket protectors and glasses. What do they know? What did ten years of school teach them but to deny god?


This is due to my warped perception of reality at that point in my life. A very non-existent reality where science is false and the only truth is in the book. Yeah we accepted that there were sedimentary rock, igneous rocks created by volcanoes, and even that limestone was created by the compression of dead animals on old sea beds. But not ancient ones, no way. The bible tells us differently. Despite overwhelming evidence that the earth is much older than the bible might indicate. In fact, it’s 583,000,000 X older based upon biblical references the ENTIRE UNIVERSE was created 6000 years ago.


Now that my religious views have matured I clearly see this to be a falsehood yet so many so called "Adults" still believe every line of a book written by people who were "directed by god" to do so. Why is it that those people happened to of had it right and people like David Karesh are wrong or false prophets. I get it that Karesh was a bad guy but he’s one guy in a long history of people who claim to of been guided by a divine hand. See below:


"I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can’t explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won’t be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."
--George W. Bush commenting to Texas evangelist James Robinson in the run-up to his presidential campaign


In conclusion, why deny know fact based upon religious scriptures written in a time where there were two states of existence. Light, and greater light (Moon and Sun, Night and day) Then there were the godless, moonless, dark nights where evil was on the prowl. A clear misunderstanding of the world and the world around and in no way qualifies the authors of the bible to perceive any will of any god. The bible clearly has moral lessons for all of humanity to follow. I believe wholeheartedly that Jesus is a great example for any human being to follow but I don’t believe that the religious right has it right. Not on this issue.
