Reply #8: What "we" know is this: [View All]

Talk to a fundie. I mentioned evolution in passing to one years ago and this otherwise very intelligent man said "evolution has so many holes in it, it makes no sense." I said something like: Yeah, there are a couple of unanswered questions but we do have proof that the world is more than 6,000 years old" when he interrupted me and said, in all damn dead seriousness: "ALL of that evidence is a crock. Carbon dating is idiotic. All that stuff about fossils and life millions of years ago has been faked by so called scientists."

It was a shocked room. We quickly changed the subject and moved on. We have to work with this guy and he is great at what he does. But none of us ever saw him the same after that.
