sorry Gary! the earth is not billions of years old. If you always believe everything a scientist tells you..... your beliefs will constantly change cause they always find they are wrong and have to rewrite the science books. The Bible remains the same and does not change cause its the truth! I'm sure most of you do not want to hear this but oh well! So please stop blaming republicans for everything that doesn't go your way. There are millions of Americans with a ton of different needs and Republicans nor Democrats will ever be perfect and meet everyone's needs!
