Greetings Mary, You wrote: "However, 6,000 years is not a common Christian belief about the earth's age, not even before evolution's unexamined premise ...
Hi Mary Christine, ... Yes, you are right in that. The belief in 'Black Magic' and other forms of superstition goes a long time back in human history. At...
Bishop Ussher, that was the one. I call on no authority but the Bible. When you do the math, even taking the begats at face value as father and son, you come...
