Happy Pi π Day (belated)‼
I was shocked in a happy way when I heard Rush Limbaugh yesterday talk
about the age-of-the-earth controversy (just like Rick Perry, Marco Rubio &
Ben Carson!). Is Rush ready to embrace
Young Earth Science (YES)? In the
context of the death of Stephen Hawking and the Big Bang, Rush divulged this,
The moment in timeline on this gigantic time of which we are not even the size of a speck of sand… To put this in perspective, the timeline of earth from beginning to present, it’s either billions and billions or it’s 10,000 years. ... Let’s say billions and billions [Sagan anyone?]. If it’s billions and billions or even if it’s 10,000, our time here - given life expectancy, 83, whatever it is - is a speck of sand. Who are we? What kind of audacious arrogance do we have to say that the way things are now is the way they were at the birth or creation or the so-called norm? We don’t even know that!
His brother David admitted that the young earth view is a
live option. [1] Furthermore, a 2014 AP-GfK poll found that 36%
doubt the old-earth view. Here are my
podcasts confronting Old Earth Fallacies and defending YES. Rush pushes against the mainstream, arguing
against the billions of years hawked by Big Science is non-conformist as
well. Rush said this yesterday,
... I’m not a conformist, and I don’t get sucked in by conventional wisdom. In fact, conventional wisdom repels me. Conventional wisdom actually pushes back at me. I don’t think I’m constitutionally capable of joining conventional wisdom, because it’s groupthink. And you have to set aside your own brain, you have to set aside your curiosity, you have to disregard your own common sense, and you have to subscribe to the groupthink. ...
By the way, Stephen Hawking in his early days was more
open to God's reality: "If we
discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason –
for then we should know the mind of God" (A Brief History Of Time, 1988).

My book, YES -Young Earth Science, supports a youthful world from history, philosophy and
science (TotalYouth.us). How does pi
relate to the origins debate? Find out
