Neither Religion nor Science has the Earth's true History "ALL KNOWED UP." If you want to believe God Created life on Earth, you are going to have to concede; it took a long time: Evolution is a fact. But the whole concept of Earth History, as presently being taught in our schools, is nothing more than an elaborate myth. And the site listed below, will prove it to any open-minded person. No fees ask or accepted. All I am trying to peddle is the truth. And no! I am not a religious zealot. See:HTTP://PlanetEarthRevisited.blogspot.com/ For the only true account of our Earth's trek through time, ever written. I DARE YOU TO READ IT.

Evolution is still a theory, and not a fact!
