Marcio,

I believe that Morris was speaking *figuratively* here rather than
literally. :) Maybe to Morris one person is like a thousand scientists.

Seriously, I don't know of any non-christian believers. I think this
question has been batted around several times in the past and I haven't
heard any convincing evidence for any non-christian scientists who accept a
4-10000 year old earth at least based on any evidence.
