Wars between theists and atheists( P.S.)

[motorfirebox]

The problem with trying to separate science from belief is that various belief structures do not limit themselves to matters of spirituality. If someone believes that the earth was created 6,000 years ago, you can't just say "Well, why don't you just go ahead and believe that the earth was created billions of years ago so that we don't have to argue anymore?" The creation of the planet isn't the issue. The issue is that the Bible gives them a timeframe for the creation of the earth, and attacking that timeframe is (to some minds) attacking the veracity of the religion(s) the Bible acts as a basis for.
