A young Earth?

The bottom line to all those "scientists" and others who believe in a young Earth, intelligent design, and Genesis as God's word.

There is NO credible verifiable evidence a God or any God exists.

Until a God can be proven to exist, intelligent design and Genesis have no standing in an argument for the creation of the universe or the age of the Earth.                                 ~ Gene Johns

This website is published and maintained by Gene Johns, an American conservative atheist. According to the Pew Research Center, 19 percent of conservatives are unaffiliated with any particular religion, and 14 percent of atheists identify as conservative. 

To paraphrase Thomas Paine from his book "The Age of Reason," by publishing this website I do not mean to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.

I praise life not a mythical deity

Atheists are individuals who do not believe a God (any God) exist. 

Atheism isn't a church or a religion. It's just a lack of belief in a God (any God).
