Was the first episode of 'Cosmos' focused too much on dismissing 'young earth creation' ...or just laying out the facts? I did think they spent way too much time on Giordano Bruno (who I hadn't heard of) and wondered if that was a dig at religion and young earth creationists. I would have preferred if they had discussed Chinese & other non Christian beliefs about the cosmos (heliocentric, geocentric, flat earth...) but they stayed with Christian persecution and torture. I did like the calendar year ending - if the Big Bang was January 1st and we are now at December 31st then man didn't appear until the last minute of the last day. I don't know how anyone can watch Cosmos and still believe in a 6,000 year old Earth - this isn't shoddy get-ratings 'Ancient Aliens' speculation.
i have said it before, just because a program like cosmos focuses on the science of how things were created, doesnt preclude god from the equation. science and god can coexist peacefully, remember even god was following certain rules because he was the one that created the rules. that said i think the program stuck to the facts, and laid them out in order to educate people on current findings of how the scientists believe the universe was created, how old it is, etc. and i agree, i dont understand, even without watching cosmos, how anyone can believe the earth isi only 6000 years old, there is far too much evidence to the contrary.
Looks like everyone is @zzuming that all the folks who believe in the scriptures, believe in the young earth fairytale.
They don't.
I believe in the scripture, and don't believe in the fairytale.
However, you didn't ask people if they did...you just assumed. Amazing how you did exactly what you are condemning others of. Jesus spoke poorly of hypocrites as well.

Yes, but that's GOOD. Most Americans are so poorly schooled in science that they believe in YEC (if the poll questions are worded a certain way). They need to learn basics taught in such a way that the concepts don't go flying over their heads.
