Week 3 - Philosophical Film Posting

My retort is on the ever constant battle between Evolution and Creationism, and has to deal with a quote from Francis Crick "A knowledge of the true age of the earth and of the fossil record makes it impossible for any balanced intellect to believe in the literal truth of every part of the Bible in the way that fundamentalists do". I have always questioned the validity of the Bible or other written religious works, and based on certain scientific finds we can discount the majority or the time tables in the Bible or other religious works.

One problem with questioning the validity of the timetables in these religious works is that once you can disprove one element of these religious works it becomes much easier to question the entire religious work, and question if there are other parts of these religious books that could also be invalid. I would like to see what scientific finds occur over the next twenty years that help to correct our understand of how we came to be and what struggles our ancestors had to overcome.
