The reason is that I have too many projects going all at once, and unfortunately that's not going to change for at least a month. I'll get here as I can, but it's going to be really tough.In the meantime, I want to share some important information about shared hosting for any of my readers who either host their own sites or are thinking about it.Paul Zannuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06999103437179652505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832226828834311430.post-74859291119999612532009-07-07T21:07:00.002-04:002009-07-07T21:14:15.390-04:00Good Conservative Christian Web HostingThere's a great alternative to the traditional web hosts out there, a company that is run by someone who is both conservative and Christian.

TB decided to elaborate on why he rejected the "young earth" theory. I reject the young earth hypothesis on several grounds.First, carbon dating has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts not related to arguing the age of the earth.
