DENVER, CO (Catholic Online) - Enyart was sued for his radio show by NPR's who claimed infringement in both New York and Federal courts over the name of the NPR show, "Science Friday." Enyart named his show "Real Science Friday." Representatives for NPR claimed the name was confusing listeners.

Aside from confusion, NPS's motivation may have literally come down to science.

Enyart, is the self-described fundamentalist pastor of the Denver Bible Church with a congregation of about 60 members. In his program, he claims the Earth is young, its age measured in thousands of years rather than billions. He also spends time commenting on Darwinism and the Big Bang theory, using scriptural passages and interpretation to challenge current scientific journalism.

The details of the settlement have not been announced, but Enyart said he would be changing the name of his program to "Real Science Radio."

That Enyart preaches real science however, is questionable, and likely the source of much of NPR's ire. Despite resistance from Protestant fundamentalists, scientists have done a very good job providing concrete evidence regarding the age of the Earth and evolution by means of natural selection. Pope John Paul II even made allowance for such beliefs within the context of Catholic belief.

As for the Big Bang theory, it was suggested by Jesuit scholar and priest, Georges Lemaitre. Lemaitre's theory is now the leading scientific explanation for the creation of the universe.

Still, the Catholic Church emphasizes the primacy and role of God in all creation noting that creative limits, scientific or miraculous, cannot be placed on God. In other words, God may create as He pleases.

I would suggest actually listening to a view episodes of Real Science Radio to hear the truth about what they are saying.

Also check out youngearth.com to see the scientific evidence for a young earth.

The Bible gives the lineage of Jesus through all the fathers of Joseph in Israel and there are only so many generations which proves there can't be millions of years since Adam. See Luke chapter 3 for Joseph’s family lineage, but the Holy Spirit is Jesus’ Real Father!!! Either you believe the Bible in the entirety or you can twist and choose to make part truth and part false. So why then even believe the Bible or just make up things that aren’t in the Bible, like Mary was without sin and didn’t have other children through Joseph (Matt. 12:46-50, Luke 8:19-20, Mark 3:31-35, Matt. 13:53-58, Gal.1:18-19) or believe in evolution of millions of years so far.
In Revelation it said if you add or subtract, cursed are you!!! Revelation 22:18-19
( A Warning )
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
