"Millions of years" a stumbling block

This cartoon illustrates why conversation between Old Earth Creationists and Young Earth Creationists is next to impossible. Bible literalists tend to think of the Bible the way Muslims think of the Qu'ran, that is, that it was dictated and copied down word for word as God delivered it. They also tend to be ignorant of the Afro-Asiatic worldview that Genesis represents and the implications of that for proper interpretation of Genesis.
