I don't hate what I don't believe in.
I do trust modern science more than I trust a book written by a bunch of uneducated goat herders. You won't admit it, but you do too. I'm sure you seek modern health care when you get sick. The bible is not a source any more than the The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is.

>Let's be real nobody knows 100% how the universe was formed or how old it is, we can draw theories based on scientific evidence and the Bible but either side will never know with 100% certainty the exact details.
There are many, many independent lines of evidence that points to the universe being 13.787ยฑ0.020 billion years old. I recommend you read 13.8 by Gribbin. He does a great job of explaining how cosmologists have arrived at that number. Unlike the bible, all of the work described in that book has tirelessly been examined and contested for 100s of years of cosmologists and astronomers.
The name calling (I agree it's not acceptable) is born from people claiming their 'theory' is comparable to a scientific theory without any evidence.
