 No reasonable attempt seems ever to be taken in this newsgroup 
to debate fundamental assumption of evolution-version creation . 
There will be many different views on the matter but dating methods 
(circularity or not!) has to play a basic role. The above view is 
one of the few entirely reasonable ones and I tend to agree with it 
perhaps only that physical age of the earth seems old and biological 
age of humankind very young indeed.
Parts of This newsgroup and almost all of Talk.origin exist in order 
to educate the public in the IC (Intellectually Correct) way of 
thinking on issues of origin of biological and geological origin. 
It serves this purpose reasonable well and has no other purpose.
