5000 years ago? dinosaurs are millions of years old
accoring to the bible, the earth was created 5000 or 6000 years ago.
There are people out there - palin included - who believe the bible literally.
You have seriously religiously canddiates like Mike huckabee - a deacon - who says it's silly to believe everything the bible says literlly. But you also have the christine odonnells, the Palins, who believe it 100%. Why? Either they can't accept science, or they want the votes of those who can't accept science...
