VP Debate Question

Thanks to Matt Damon in this video:



My question is this:
Most Americans of all faiths accept the science regarding the origins of our universe, our planet, dinosaurs and man; specifically, that the universe is about 14 billion years old, and Earth is 4.5 billion years old, that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, and that Homo sapiens first appeared on earth only about 300,000 years ago. Some Americans subscribe a hypothesis called Young Earth creationism, that rejects all that science as flawed or misinterpreted because it is inconsistent with the literal word of God in the bible. They believe God created the entire universe in six earth days, and humans and dinosaurs walked at the same time on the earth less than 10,000 years ago. Based on statements you've each previously made, most of us suspect what you each believe. However, since you're each vying to be a heartbeat away from the presidency, with access to nuclear codes and having to deal with our enemies, tonight, in front of millions of American viewers, I want to hear each of you state your views on this topic.
