My point was that we cannot truly understand what happened millions of years ago using modern technology. We can make informed assumptions, but again we are talking about faith. Carbon dating has been used to show that the earth is billions of years old, and so is a pig that died twenty years ago. Who knows how quickly carbon was diffused in an atmosphere of acid? Many scientists believed that the moon would have ten feet of dust on its surface based on the idea that it had been there for billions of years and had collected space dust all that time. When the lunar lander made its touchdown, there was about two inches of dust. What happened there?

This is all getting off the point that duckandcover is trying to say that since all religion is irrational, then one cannot be worse than the other. My reply stands that to follow that thinking, astrology and astronomy must be given equal creedence. I await his/her reply.
