To be accepted in any group you must agree with them.
To get along you must go along.
To be different is to be ostracized.
But to be different is not necessarily to be right.
Once assumptions are accepted by a great number of people, they tend to take on the nature of fact when they may not be.
Conclusions are only as valid as the assumptions on which they are based.
Assuming that time is constant and that the rate of radioactive decay is constant are the underpinnings of all geological, archeological and cosmological dating.
So, at the end of the day, we all operate in faith in our assumptions.
I believe that my God is able to create a mature universe in six literal days.
The only evidence I have of this is the Biblical record which contains genealogical records from which the 4000 BC creation is determined.
Because the Biblical prophesies of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, came true it has validity as more than just the musings and writing of men.
When I came to know Christ Jesus personally, the icing was on the cake. I am now filled with His Spirit and know, not all things, but the Truth.
It is a wonderful place to be as I don't have to wonder about the past or the future as I live in the eternal Now, the great I Am.
I recommend all enter into relationship with the Creator, Christ Jesus, by being filled with His Holy Spirit.
Science is only a game compared to the Truth.
