Its important to note that if religious there are only 2 choices, #'s 1 and 3. To choose #2 is to deny their consideration of G-d no matter how knowledgeable they are in religious or scientific respects.
Now, to pick #3 over #1 is difficult for from what I see many on this forum( atheists and religious) also only relate to man only as existing in his present form even if in some way he believes in evolution from the antelope. Adding the 10,000 years to #3 is poor for it is the only choice that many can relate to if they do not believe that they have developed from lower forms. Old story, not even a new hat, Mr. Scopes rears his ugly head.
This is not stupidity except on the part of the stats guys( with a certain amount of ill will) who give new meaning to a lack of understanding of basic science and religion.
