    Why thank you. There is no complete proof to say that the world is 6,000 is 4.5 billion years old. I believe it is 6,000, but neither theory can be completely proved and never will be until God comes down and tells us. 6,000 is a lot more reasonable sounding to me. And in regards to the article, yes, evolution takes another blow :)
