Thanks Ranjai but I will address Ray on his points.

Without getting too technical the Biblical record is 6000 years old as you clearly state. There are 2 points that however that may answer your criticism of this.

1) Just because the Biblical record starts where it does, does not mean the earth wasn’t around before this record starts (there is a paragraph break in the original Hebrew between verses 1 and 2 of Genesis 1.)

2) There is considerable evidence that carbon dating is a questionable way of dating things. It is possible that scientists who rely on that could be wrong.

As for your point about the church. I do not take the “church” (the so called Catholic church I assume you are referring to here) at all seriously but I do take the Bible seriously. I find most of Christianity have moved away form what the Bible teaches. I take the Bible seriously because of its prophecies which have been proven correct and which are coming true before our eyes – if we have eyes to see them.

However Ray, you believe what you want. We live in a free world – But I like to be sure about what I believe and I like to base my beliefs on logic and fact – not on what I’m told to believe by society or by another man. I wander if you have read your Bible Ray, or if you have only got this negative impression from what you were shown in your 12 years of Roman Catholic schooling…

If you wish to ask me more questions about this then please email me. I would not like to take this kind of debate any further in a design focused site such as this.

Anybody got any design related questions or comments?

Hey Ray, will you let the man have his beliefs? If we start censoring the flow of ideas too, all we’re left with is 1984.

Just because someone believes in the Bible doesn’t make all their beliefs the same as someone else’s – that’s what belief is – what you want it to be.

Sigh, and the post was supposed to be about the interview. Lovely interview, guys, and lovely site, Matt. The pink has me drooling

Mabey you should put the bible down for a little while.

I attended, in the states, 12 years of roman catholic schooling. From what i understand you take the biblical stories to be 100% true? Correct? If so , you then believe that the earth, or universe, is 6000 years old. The fact of the matter is, the bible shouldn’t be taken to serious, and church shouldn’t be taken seriously at all.
