It never ceases to amaze me how quickly elected officials will knuckle under to right-wing 'crusaders.' But if a liberal has an objection, they are vilified in many different ways. And for the earth's age, I believe comparing potassium/argon ratios, or lead isotope ratios work's quite well for the older dates. Well said.

My minor at uni was in Cosmology, so I'm not sure why I didn't think of that! Thanks for your thoughts.

I too agree, that counting that these are the end times is just about the greatest folly of all - we might have a reason to HOPE that. But our standing orders are to take care of the Earth, not destroy it. Having said that, I also doubt that whatever we do there might be little left of the world as we know it when all this mess is over. Let's hope there still are future generations.
