Biblical creationism is "wrong": there's ample evidence that the Earth is *much* more than 6000 years old. Yet lots of seemingly rational people believe biblical creationism.

Which years? The very definition of the Christian God encompasses all ultimate things, including the ability to make the Earth look like it's billions of years old, with *all* "evidence" in place. There are some fascinating videos from Mt. St. Helens(?) which suggest possibilities not found in the common literature.... There can be only one point here (outside of a purely religious discourse), and that is that religion is a matter of faith, not of physical proofs. Those spiritual beings can walk in your world (by definition), but you can't walk in theirs, or at least you can't prove it to the average cypherpunks subscriber.
