*~7,000 ... or 5 billion.
Somebody's got it wrong.
Take your pick.

I would have thought politics and ecology was enough controversy for any one thread.*

Not sure what you are referring to with that statement....  but in case you did not know... religious people  (bible readers) believe that the earth is only 10K yrs old...    or so...maybe a little more..    that God made man and woman not so long ago...  further,, there was no controversy here...  I was just asking dogor a question about his belief...

@PJF:  read my post again...  if you don't do legislative and stop negative money from coming in  you can hope to do nothing...    you got to take it to the legislative and pass laws...
