Wikipedia gets it wrong. Or, why you can't trust scientists who weren't there.

During the course of some reading relative to a short story I should like to write, I came across this little gem:

"The formation of the Moon is believed to have occurred 4.527 ± 0.01 billion years ago, about 30–50 million years after the origin of the solar system." (Source: Wikipedia: Moon.)

LOL!

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night...And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." (Gen. 1:14-19; See also Psalms 8:3, Psalms 104:19, and Jeremiah 31:35.)

Athiests.

What can be said about these atheists? For that matter, what may be said of atheists in general? Having done a very small amount of research--it being a topic quite prosaic--I have found a few quotes of interest. That is, you need not take my word about atheism; these quotes say it all.

"To be an atheist requires an infinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny." --Joseph Addison, 1672-1719.

"If a man of sober habits, moderate, chaste, and just in all his dealings should assert there is no God, he would at least speak without interested motives; but such a man is not to be found." --Jean de la Bruyere, 1645-1696.

"Few men are so obstinate in their atheism, that a pressing danger will not compel them to the acknowledgment of a divine power." --Plato.

"God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because His ordinary works convince it." --Francis Bacon, 1561-1626.

And Finally,

"The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God'." --Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1.
