I'm sure that will have delayed things a little.
The information at that link speaks of a hypothesis that the Earth was extensively covered by ice at one or more points in time, the last being around 650 million years ago. It does not claim that the Earth was icebound for billions of years until that point.
God's experimental treatment of Earth left us with a planet that seems no different from one that developed through natural processes, based on the evidence left behind. Now that we're starting to map the topography of the oceans, perhaps one day we'll find that there is a system of valleys in the deep Pacific that spells out "GOD WUZ HEAR LOL" and we'll finally know the truth of the universe.
I'm guessing that we won't, though.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
