I have to respect those who try to interpret the scripture in a literal sense out of a supposed respect for God but sometimes ,like on the subject of creation,in these days of scientific enlightenment, its a bit like an ostrich hiding his head in the sand! This subject might not be so important but from what i can understand (Hugh Ross-Creation science) the young earth view when presented to our court system in every case to try to win the right to teach the Bible view of creation in our schools is directly responsible for the issue failing each time!
