Alberta 'creationist' finds 60m-year-old fish fossils

You mean fish fossils made to appear 60 million years old :oops:

Sorry -I believe God created all things, but some believe God created the earth with the appearance of age. I find that silly. Thought I'd throw in some humor here.

Apparently that's what the old man thinks, since he said he hasn't changed his mind and still believes the world was created 6000 years ago.

Why people go through such mental contortions is beyond me. It seems a supernatural entity created the world in such a way that it would appear many orders of magnitude older than it really is, so as to fool all the people with functioning brains. Because... that makes sense?

I guess I have to give people props for making the worship of trickster gods fashionable again.

It seems like Loki is God in the Young Earth Creationist's world. Fooling, tricking, and lying.

Thinking about it, isn't Gnosticism based on an evil demiurge God? Perhaps that's where YEC are going with it. The evil YHWH creating the world to produce slaves to serve him. It really seems like he's that kind of God based on some descriptions of him. Demanding belief, worship, conversion, obedience, ... doesn't sound like a good God at all. And all the suffering he's allowing only because it somehow is a need for it to allow freewill. Nah. It's not a good God at all.

Everyone gets fooled now and again. It is part of learning not to be fooled.
