I can understand how some people believe in god; that's okay. I'm an atheist and don't believe, but I can understand some people have a faith. I do not understand how those people can let their faith over-rule common sense and science to make them believe a ridiculous notion: that the Earth is only 6000 years old. I don't think it is true but if you said to me a power created the universe millions of years ago, well, the facts don't disprove that: I don't agree but I can't say you are wrong.... but to dismiss fact because it clashes with your dogma, well, you are simply wrong. I'm not sure if I agree with Richard Dawkins; debating these idiots does lend them a certain credence... but leaving this kind of stupidity unchecked can lead to some people actually falling prey to it, believing it, not checking facts, not applying logic, etc. http://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2014/feb/05/bill-nye-vs-ken-ham-creationism-science-debate http://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2014/feb/06/22-answers-creationism-evolution-bill-nye-ken-ham-debate http://www.theguardian.com/science/video/2014/jan/07/creationism-evolution-science-lessons-video
