Amen! Thank you for your response and your eagerness to share the word. Please be assured that my comments were meant solely as an encouragement and to share what have been my experiences in discussions pertaining to this matter. I firmly believe it is our duty as Christians to encourage, exhort and/or admonish fellow brothers in Christ with love and respect, as per required in scripture. I am a firm believer in Creation as opposed to evolution. But I was raised with a scientific mindset. Which is to say that I was taught that evolution and "The Big Bang" were facts. It was later in life that I learned these were not so. As far as the age of the universe is concerned, I try to be as objective as I can, steer away from vain and useless arguing. If some one wants to have a constructive and edifying discussion on the matter, I am open to it. I will not however engage in a conversation that involves solely on changing my or someone else's view.
God Bless
