Unfortunately, creationism as it is presented in America seems to be a
literal interpretation of the Old Testament, warts and all, and teaches the
Earth is 4000 years old, created with the illusion of age to 'confound the
scientists and Darwinites'...
When I become a god, I hope to be immune to such petty trifles as demanding
'worship'..I would rather encourage my creations to become my equals and
companions..
