Wow...6 pages...thats amazing in like 6 days. I did NOT read but a few posts on this...don't have 2 extra hours to spare...I do have thoughts on the subject though.
I'm really not a creationist nor an evolutionist. I figure, when I die, I'll either find out the truth or decay in a box. Either way it doesn't matter.
Anyway, two possible ideas here to mingle both approaches.
1. The bible says god created the earth in 6 days with the seventh to rest. So, how long is a biblical day? Not thinking of a biblical day for a human which is 24 hours but for an all powerful creator. Maybe that's 1 billion years. So, if god were the greated scientist he could have worked on things for a long time. Yes, he had to take gasses & all that other stuff you are throwing out from the evolution theory and mix it together...hey, you have to start somewhere. Then you create some simple creatures and over the next "day" you manipulate them till you end up with humans.
and the sci-fi version;)
2. Maybe god is some creature must more advanced than us and we are minute compared to him. Maybe he has a terrarium in his room and has created this universe to play with. Hey, anything is possible:)
