Of course, believing that the Earth is 6,000 years old requires one to believe that God (or the Devil) planted fake fossils of non-existent trilobites and dinosaurs in the ground; that God created "light trails" from distant stars and galaxies in order to produce the FALSE appearance that a 6000-year-old Universe is more than 20 billion years old; that millions of scientists are involved in a massive worldwide conspiracy to promote the Satanic ideology of Darwinism because they hate Jesus and are probably secret homosexuals; etc.

And yet Young Earth Creationists really and sincerely believe that their Genesis-literalist "theory" has an elegant simplicity and is favored by logic -- because, to use Lampada's words, it's больше по вкусу.

At some point, one must recognize the utter futility and uselessness of arguing -- and either ignore Young Earth Creationists altogether, or simply ignore your scientific and philosophical disagreements with them, while being open to friendship.
