At last, an electrical engineer that believes:

The sun revolves around the earth
The earth is about 10,000 years old
All the marsupials & other animals were packed up on an ark while it rained
    a lot, then, upon release, ALL the marsupials traveled hundreds of miles
    over the ocean so they could live over the remains of fossilized marsupials
    (which occur nowhere else).  Rabbits & foxes, however, stayed away.
Light travelling from the Andromeda Galaxy (2 million light-years away)
    must've been created in transit to be arriving 1,990,000 years early.

Fortunately, the Bible failed to mention electricity.

Don't ever think of becoming a biologist/geologist/archeologist/astronomer. 
Too many "contradictions".  However, this hasn't stopped other people from
building workable hypotheses in these fields.  Too bad they contradict
the Bible; then again, science isn't trying to.  Science tries to discover
the truth, and preconceptions be damned!
