I agree! I am a geologist, I believe the earth is old but, despite the evidence, we do not actually know if our earth is old or if evolution is true. The Bible does not tell us. We can debate and enjoy the debate but we should not take a stand.
Many people believed the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. The evidence of the time supported that theory. We now know it is wrong. Someday we will know the truth about the age of the earth but today is not that day.

I have always regarded ASA as being one of the few venues in
Christianity where an issue that _ought_ to be debated by Christians
but generally isn't for fears of "divisiveness" can be debated. And
generally the debate proceeds in Christian love. I would like to
preserve this -- I believe it's valuable. So I would oppose ASA taking
an official stance on evolution.
