the books of the old testament are no different. anyone who believes god stopped the midday sun in the sky (written at a time when people thought earth was the center of the universe) don't understand celestial mechanics.
treat creationists with the same respect you would someone who insists they've been kidnapped by aliens and want to teach your kids about that at school.

i loved this post god. so glad to know i'm not alone. matter of fact, i think a lot of people doubt far more than they let on--it's the better dead than different, follow the pack mentality. not sure how often i've heard ' play it safe, and believe'-so they're generally faking it as well.
