Ok, I agree we have gone quite some way from the young earth issues, but we got there not by following side issues but by pursuing points that were raised in defence of a particular stance. I'm as happy as anyone to get back the core topic.

So, pete, do you suggest any approximate age for a young earth, and if so what leads you to that figure? On the assumption it isn't anything to do with the Bible, naturally.
