That Walton quote is awesome - the Bible says "no comment" as to the age of the earth - we moderns really do ask the wrong questions don't we? I would proably give the same responses you do.

Yeah, I think it’s a sin issue for me. I just can’t stop talking. I need to repent.

I love it, it's explanatory without being convoluted. Why take 1,000 pages to say what you can in 200? The only problem I have with it is that it's a bit older, and the aspect discussion is just now getting to a more popular level, so it's a bit outdated there. Jason

When I was a new believer, I believed in the young-earth view and a literal 7-day creation. I have more recently entertained the idea of the creation possibly occurring long ago (per the old-earth theory). I find that now I am in somewhat of a wilderness on the issue. Frankly, I don't think it matters how old the earth is. BTW--I see you have Stevens' Greek grammar in your library. How do you like it? He was my intro Greek prof in New Orleans.
