Paradigm,

Are you saying that the bible says the universe is 13.7 billion years old?? If so, where does it say that?

I was just referring to the new study. I'm not into that creationist-stuff.

Im definitely not into that whole creationalism deal either. Im just curious as to what the bible says. Thanks though for the info!

Indeed, Byrd, people who take the Bible literally are on the totally wrong mind track. The Bible wasn't meant to be literal, but symbolic for something else. Anyways, on how old the Earth is? I would go with scientific thinking too, but on the Universe, I fully believe it is infinite, or perhaps there are more than one

You actually surprised me. I had the impression that you were really religious from earlier posts. But that was like the most open minded thing I ever heard a religious person say. *gets teary eyed*. There's hope for this planet yet!
