    You cannot explain why he said 5500 years and not what creationists would claim (6,000 to 10,000 years).

    You can only look at a fragment of the entire discussion that went on and parse one sentence out of context, eh?

    There's not a shred of evidence that he's even religious at all.

    His WikiPedia page talks about his charitable donations and nothing to any religious organization or church or anything.

    The reason 5500 years matters is that there's no way to document there was any science or wrong claims before that.

    You just said you watched it live, he didn't say that and you don't trust a transcript with him saying that.

    And now you're quoting it.


    So, lets review...

    I post part of a transcript, you say that's not accurate, he didn't say that.

    You post part of the EXACT SAME transcript. Now it is suddenly accurate.

    So what exactly did you hear?

    I heard the whole fucking interview. You did not. You're making shit up. I'll keep answering your questions that you ignore the answers to.

    I'm quoting you.

    You said you heard the interview and you don't trust the transcript.


    Then you start quoting the exact same transcript.

    So this guy goes to the doctor and says, hey doc, I have got five penises. Is that unusual? The doctor says, well let me take a look. "Yes indeed. In my 40 year medical history I have never seen this condition. The patient says, you would think this is maybe a blessing, but it's awful. It's horrible to urinate. And, sex is rather unusual. And the doctor says, yeah I can't even believe you can wear pants with that. The patient, says oh, no, that's fine. These pants fit like a glove.

    I don't trust a bit of the transcript taken out of context.

    Again, I saw the thing live. The man was badgered by a partisan hack journalist who had a gotcha agenda the whole time. The man wasn't reading off of cue cards or a prepared speech.

    In no way did he come across as a creationist. In no way.

    In no way.

    I do mean the "deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts" part.

    That's not something a creationist would say.

    Get it?

    I posted the whole context.

    The part you want to deliberately ignore.

    Yeah, like the earth is 6000 years old.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism

    The common belief of Young Earth Creationists is that the Earth and life were created in six 24-hour periods,[65] 10,000–6,000 years ago. However, there are different approaches to how this is possible given the geological evidence for much longer timescales. The Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College has identified two major types of YEC belief systems:[65]

    • Believers in flood geology attach great importance to the biblical story of Noah's Flood in explaining the fossil record and geological strata. Major American YEC organizations such as the Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis support this approach with detailed argumentation and references to scientific evidence, though often framed with pseudoscientific misconceptions.[65]
    • A less-visible form of YEC not seen as often on the internet is one which claims that there has been essentially no development of the Universe, Earth, or life whatsoever since creation — that creation has been in a steady state since the beginning without major changes. According to Ronald Numbers this belief, which does not necessarily try to explain scientific evidence through appeal to a global flood, has not been promoted as much as the former example given.[66] Such YECs believe that fossils are not real and that major extinctions never occurred, so dinosaurs, trilobites, and other examples of extinct organisms found in the fossil record would have to either be hoaxes or simply secular lies, promoted perhaps by the devil.[65][67]
