Sounds like your pastor (some sort of religious leader?) is trying to get
you
to do his homework for him. There's plenty of words for such people, but
most
don't make it into the family-edition dictionaries ; many others are
compounds
of "lazy" and another word.

COMPUTER-less is actually a better word.


We are looking for links to articles - I have Googled some. I am not
seeking
debate on the subject; merely information from various locations which
would
support the theory as well as debunk it, without heated debate, anger or
name-calling. Just a good few articles on the subjects from both sides.

Deep Time happened ; where-ever you are in the world, the likelihood is
that
there will be nearby landscape and field work that you could do spread
over a
good afternoon's walk which would leave you with no doubt of the long
duration
of time required to form the rocks under your feet. Most people can accept
that ; some people have some emotional weakness that leaves them incapable
of
handling a world that doesn't have any interest or knowledge in their
existence or well-being. It's common for such people to fall into religion
as
a support for their emotional weakness, and they may get very defensive if
you
do something to challenge their false beliefs about reality.

Then again, you might just be yet another troll.

Not at all, and I heartily disagree with your assessment of people who know
they need a Savior. :)
