The Quote...

There's an article in the Washington Post about a group of students from Liberty University that visit the Smithsonian Institute every year. What's so special about that? Well, Liberty University was founded by Jerry "9/11 happened because of the gay" Falwell and is thus a Christian university. Fundamentalist Christians to be exact. And their science curriculum must dovetail nicely with a literal interpretation of the bible. So against mountains of scientific evidence to the contrary, at Liberty U they teach that God created man in his present form about 6,000 - 10,000 years ago (this would be about 1,000 years after the Sumerians first brewed beer and 30,000 years after homo sapiens reached Europe).

For Creationists, a literal interpretation of the bible is reality ... and anything contradicting that is patently false.

Or is it?

"Why should we be afraid to test our worldview against reality?" asked Bill Jack, a Christian leadership instructor who leads groups across the country for a company called Biblically Correct Tours.

Memo from God: Billy, you're not helping.
