Well, it doesn't matter to me what anyone believes about it, as long as they aren't a geologist I'm actually paying, or something like that. Your description is in the "Mastodons floated better" category, and if you're happy with that, I'm okay too.
As you, I don't really care what someone believes, however the concept that the planet is only 6000 years old is simply ludicrous on its face........dragging that argument into politics does our movement real damage, and invites ridicule.
On the "Mastodons floated better" meme, everyone realizes that in the fossil record we ARE talking about
fossilized remains, where the organic material has been replaced with rock........that isn't going to happen in 6000 years, in fact age can be quite accurately determined by the timing of the chemical process that eventually fossilized the bones. All of this can be accomplished without resorting to Carbon-14 dating, which I assume is some of Satan's work as well.
As DAT stated succinctly.......believe what you want......just keep the more bizarre of those unverifiable beliefs out of political discussions......they make us look foolish (and arguably no different from the Global Warming crowd).
