He already believes evolution occurred (yet oddly, he still manages to be a creationist), so he's not the enemy. It's a pretty novel idea, and I'd like to see what he comes up with to support it. Usually creationists are way less creative than this.
Unfortunately, boxing in is really the only thing one can do with a problem like Drich, especially on an issue like this one. The trouble is that he has absolutely no scientific evidence for the assertion he's made, just a gap in the bible he can try to fit the wealth of current scientific knowledge into. But it's like trying to fit a full grown man into a condom; eventually something will snap and he'll be left embarrassed, irritated, and possibly covered in lubricant.
Otherwise, I congratulate you on the level headed way you've approached this, and I'll admit to some interest in how this particular condom will end up breaking.
