Quote:I never understood the whole idea that earth was six thousand years old. Personally I think evolution fits perfectly into creation. God is just patient. When you have been around forever, a millions of years is not a big deal.
Yes, I've heard this weaseling before, people who want the best of both worlds - they come up with an excuse for God, but they never seem to have answers for things like sub-optimal 'design'.
They also seem to gloss over the brute fact that God isn't needed for evolution to work, any more than God is a requisite for gravity, heat, sunflowers, or sharks. William of Ockham settled this seven centuries ago, but theistic evolutionists seem to have missed the memo.
