  • Graduated valedictorian in 1988 from Second Baptist High School POINT PROVEN Once again I could not ever support a person who holds the Christan bible to be 100% accurate. This nut case thinks the earth is 6000 years old. If you can stand by such an assinine idea there is no point in arguing further.

There is no need to debate facts. If you would like to debate evolution or the fact the earth is 6000 years old go to your local elementary school and you might find someone willing to entertain your idea.

LOL. I guess you chose option two. The sad thing is that you are apparently so unaware of modern biological science that you don't know you just admitted to being not just a bigot but an ignorant bigot.
