At the risk of this seeming like a ploy to get attention, I'd like to express my satisfaction with this thread on the C# language forum (which I started): [^].
For me, this thread has the "best of CodeProject" going on: in-depth discussions, friendly challenge, helpful clarifications, fascinating speculative hypotheses.
Even (strange) a quick appearance of Luc Patyn in his cosmic form. Outstanding code contributions from Richard Deeming and Sascha LeFevre.
Of course, if I were smarter, I wouldn't mention this ... since it exposes the depth of my lack of depth; but, surely, that's why I am an ex-MVP (?) 
cheers, Bill

The earth has been in existence for 3.54 billion years*. All of us were lucky to spend a short period of that time while Bowie was alive.
*Unless you are religious, then that time is smaller
Yes I'm trying to help make Bowie the new Leslie, afterall I was instrumental in the original Leslie

Ok, I'll bite.... How does someone being religious change the age of earth?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Science versus the Bible? I don't know. I'm just guessing that is what he meant.

Creationists believe the earth is around 6000 years old and that humans and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. Science tells us the earth is around 4.5 billions years old and that humans and dinosaurs are separated by around 65 million years.

FTFY.
Creationists tend to base their beliefs on a literal interpretation of the old testament, and would most likely self-identify as Christians.
In other words: most creationists are religious people; but not all religious people are creationists.

Precisely. In fact, a very small percentage of religious people are creationists.

Creationism is a literal interpretation of the bible, and so is therefore rooted in religion.

Correct. My point was that creationists believe in a literal time frame, not all religious people as the OP suggested. Creationists make up a small percentage of religious people.

Indeed. We may never see the maracas employed with such artistry again. However, you're mourning like it's 2012!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
