Ben: yeh sorry about that comment about athiests, It wasn't really fair in the context of this discussion, and I certainly don't condone the behaviour of any Christians who might act similarly to some of my experiences of athiests.
Re other texts, I did make it clear that i wasn't familiar with many others and that my comments were only presumptions, but since I have already found a text that fits so well with reality, it isn't one of my top priorities to find another. My interests lie more in the areas of the creation/evolution debate as oposed to other faiths (with a particular interest in astronomy).

David: I didn't suggest nor do I think that people of other faiths are in any way inferior (we're all made in God's image after all), I am simply saying that if Jesus is the only way to God as the verse clearly says (I really don't see how it could be interpretted any other way), then Christianity is not compatible with a religion that says otherwise. i.e. they can't both be right. I'm sorry if you find that offensive and you're more than entitled to your opinion, but I'm more interested in truth than making everybody happy.

I don't really want to get into discussing the details of how popular estimates for the age of the earth etc are flawed here as its not really the place and it tends to invite heated and emotional responses from those who are indoctrinated with evolution, if you're interested in persuing such a discussion, email me (my email address is in the about section of this website under Technical Team - disclaimer: my views don't necessarily represent those of The Yorker). I am familiar with these issues and have no problem reconciling the actual facts with a straightforward interpretation of the Bible (and as I hope I've demonstrated I am of sound mind, not an ignorant nutter who buries his head in the sand as some might have you believe creationists are).

Cheers for an interesting debate
James
