My frustration is how so many consider of that interpretation of Genesis as a monolith in Christianity. Besides, anyone who thinks a presentation of the fossil record is going to dissuade those who believe in young earth creationism probably hasn't spoken to enough of them. I recently had a conversation with someone who believed God placed the dinosaur bones in the ground just to test our faith!
*sigh* This rhetoric is so tired. Pretending that every Christians subscribes to this one interpretation of the creation story in Genesis is ridiculous. I knew this post would be here even before I entered the comments section.

Equating truth with "very very likely" seems like a great idea!
