I haven't been able to post for a while, so please bear with me as I catch up a bit with my thoughts on what's been discussed. First, a bit of house keeping to tend to:

Not at all. You think it began 6,000ish years ago?
Do you think it fast-forwarded past the events in Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago?
Of course not, thats a stupid thing to say.
I was meaning that there was a fairy tale started a while back that indicated that the world was about that old. It contained a whole bunch of other crazy ass shit too, including some events in the area and timeframe that you mention.
I knew exactly what you were trying to say; my response was rhetorical, and I think you know that.
You seize on the question of creationism so that you have an excuse to ignore the evidence of the resurrection. You repeat the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" mantra despite the extraordinary evidence presented. But, you weren't there with Thomas to see it for yourself; so therefore in your mind it didn't happen. Thus my statement of history beginning with your arrival on the scene. And round and round we go.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
