Damned if you do, ...

The Christian Right must be in a quandary today. There's a news item (The London Times has it) that British scientists have found a very old copy of the Koran and carbon dated it. Apparently it was written before the prophet Mohammed founded Islam. That would be an interesting discovery, but that's not what I find amusing. The Christian Right would no doubt love to promote this story. They could use it to claim that Islam is a sham. BUT they also hate Carbon Dating, because it proves that the world was not created by God waving his hand in 4004 BC, as they all want to believe. So accept Carbon Dating, damn Islam, but have to row back from Creationism? Or bury the whole story? I wonder what they will decide? PS: Fox News, known to be somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan, is carrying it.....
