Maybe we should just ask everyone posting to this list whether or not
they believe the earth to be over a million years old.

There's no doubt in my mind that it is. Everything we look at, shrieks
it. Take a polar bear for example, one may quibble whether the first
polar bear emerged 100,000 or 200,000 years ago, but one can't quibble
it must have taken rather more than 1 million years to make its
_ancestor_ emerge.
