Venus's Surface May Be 1 Billion Years Old
dptalia writes, "For a while scientists have believed that Venus's surface is fairly young, having recently been covered by lava 1 to 3 kilometers deep. However, more study into photos sent back by Magellan seems to show that the cataclysmic volcano theory is wrong. Now scientists are postulating that Venus's surface may be a billion years old and could be probed to determine the history of the planet."
There are lots of Christians who have no problem reconciling evolution with creation. If you understand even the basic concepts surrouding an omnipotent creator, you understand that one could easily have created a world that evolves.
Unfortunately, this teensy bit of elementary school logic is lost on the more frothy-mouthed "supporters" of my faith. God help them!
I make a habit of mentioning this because I'm tired of fundamentalist wackos getting all the attention in this debate, and I do not take your lampooning of them as any kind of insult to me as a Christian.
Time to keep making the consciousness donuts!
Slashdot? Oh, I just read it for the articles.
