Levitating the Pentagon

This week, Ken Ham, chief wacko at Answers in Genesis, the folks who believe that the Bible is the only authority on everything, spoke to around 150 people at a prayer breakfast at the Pentagon. These are the people who have their fingers on the triggers and the authority to send Americans into harm’s way. How many of those 150 also believe the “end times” are near and that only the big war against Israel must happen before Jesus comes back? Not familiar with AiG? In their words:

We don’t want to be known primarily as ‘young-Earth creationists.’ AiG’s main thrust is NOT ‘young Earth’ as such; our emphasis is on Biblical authority. Believing in a relatively ‘young Earth’ (i.e., only a few thousands of years old, which we accept) is a consequence of accepting the authority of the Word of God as an infallible revelation from our omniscient Creator. Take out your Bible and look through it. You can’t find any hint at all for millions or billions of years.
