sin is next to impossible to avoid.

I consider myself a really young Christian in a 40 yr old body. You are asking me questions I don't fully know the answers to. I am studying, trying to learn, and listening to preachers. It took me quite a while to accept God. I'm an engineer and wanted concrete answers to my questions. Science offers theories.

To me, I see both an acceptance of Big Bang or Creation to be based on Faith. Scientists are placing faith in their theories and their ability to someday prove them, or continue to refine them. I am placing faith in the Biblical account of creation.

I realize that with the scientific data of today, there seems to be problems with the age of the Universe when compared to man's understanding. I tend to believe we will find more out about the inconsistency and it will lend support to the Biblical account. We simply do not know, that is why when "scientists" dismiss, out of hand, the Biblical account and hold their views as superior, I take offense. Their understanding is based on some leaps of faith, just like mine.
