I’m not Anti-Religion

Kirsten Sanford, host of a radio show, This Week in Science, wants to start a Unicorn Museum.

It’s an attempt to mock Answers Genesis’ Creation Museum, but she is sure to state that she’s not anti-religion. “There may have been some act of creation by some greater being at some point in history”, she says. She just doesn’t think she has any way of knowing that. But any young earth creationist… you’re ignorant and blind to the world around you. In other words, you can be religious if you want… but if you are, you’re a stupid twit. And you belong in the Dark Ages, where everyone was a stupid twit.

So here’s my question, Kirsten… and I’ll ask here because when I emailed a question to her (that similarly challenged her interpretation of evidence), I got nothing. Is there no possible explanation for the observations we make that would be consistent with a ~6000 year old Earth? Be scientific about it, now… no possible explanation at all?

In reality, I think Kristen is all for religion… as long as it’s her religion. But everyone else’s, especially anyone with the audacity to believe that ancient book the Bible, is an idiot and their religion is ignorant.

Well, I’d say there is no explanation that is consistent with a ~6000 year old UNIVERSE, that is also consistent with light speed as a fundamental constant.

Hey Sam, happy to see you’ve stumbled upon my little blog. :)

But… are you sure there is no possible explanation for a 6000 year old universe? None at all?

Isn’t that assuming an awful lot? I mean, there could be the possibility that God created light in midflight, right? I don’t hold to that myself, but is it not even a possibility?

Also, does light speed have to be a constant?

I’m certainly over my head in the technical details of this, but it strikes me as arrogant and non-scientific to say there is no possible way to interpret our observations that is consistent with a ~6000 year old universe.
