(you won't believe how someone else came up with that number) He was in a rush to publish his book and noticed the numbers were wrong... ...he knew eventually somebody would have figured out you cannot change a fish to a man in 75,000 years. So he, 'made up a number'! Then when he published his book, (origin of species 1859) he wrote the age of the earth to be 306,662,400 years old. The equiptment he needed to determine the age of the earth wasn't invented untill 1905 using radioactive decay. So, he made up any number to fit the facts of his book. He lied. But how come nobody out there sez he lied???? What else did Charles Darwin make up? the WHOLE book Origin of the Species???? -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
