church & science

there is the ongoing argument among people related to how old the earth is. i thought id never post about this topic, but my beliefs were challenged & i had to think more about it.

do we believe, sometimes with blind faith about scientific discussions, even when science is clear in proof that we are incorrect? the church did this back around the 15th century when it, the church, blindly believed that the earth was the center of the solar system, around which the sun rotated. they took the position out of blind faith even though science proved that the sun was the center of our solar system, around which the earth rotated.

the church was wrong, science was right & nobody can argue that.

this made me think, alot. what might i believe that can be proven otherwise? ive taken the view that the earth is geologically young out of blind faith. i could be wrong. everything i've believed, thought & have been taught about the age of the earth could be false. wow.

im not saying that im changing my stance on the earth's age, but ive come to a place that i can see & understand why some christians adhere to a geologically old earth. from this new appreciation i'll no longer think 'im right & they're wrong' but rather hope to be able to come to the same conclusion with them that, in fact, God IS the creator.

does it really matter how old the earth is? of course not. if somebody needs to believe that the earth is geologically old to come to faith in Christ, so be it.
