What "we"? As per the numerous endless threads on the subject we have
had in the past, I am convinced that belief in a young universe was a
minority opinion before R induced a counter-reformation, and in fact only
came under legitimacy attack within my lifetime. (Some time after the
publication of Challenge by R' Aryeh Carmell and R' Cyril Domb [editors]
for AOJS in 1976.)
