Huh?How so? Seriously -- what makes this obvious?
cause and effect
go back to the beginning and choose
Spirit first?
or substance
Ahhh, ok...
Actually i have heard the the same, more than once, maybe different wording but the same essential meat. It really is quite funny
I actually don't see why it's funny. It could be true. I believe God created the earth. That's not negotiable to me. How long it took is negotiable. How God did it is negotiable. But surely an omnipotent God, if truly Omnipotent, could create an earth in one nano-second or he could do it over a trillion years. But if God lives outside of time, what does it matter to him and does he measure time? Could he do a trillion years of work in one second and leave evidence of a trillion years of work? Sure he could. So as one who believes God created the earth, as said in the Bible, I see no reason to argue against evolution or a very old earth. Only a foolish Christian/scientist would deny science to protect his beliefs. Let the science lead where it may. And let your faith lead you where it may. I have perfect confidence in the end it will all make sense. It will be universally known that there is a Creator God and he will probably share with us when and how he did it and then with our eyes and understanding fully open, we'll all smile with a big "ahhhhh.... now I get it, it all makes sense...."

Oh, I deal with the inability of creationists to provide evidence for their claims all the time.deal with it
science.....cause and effect
so.....I might assume of you......Oh, I deal with the inability of creationists to provide evidence for their claims all the time.
I deal with it quite well.
Yes... I doso.....I might assume of you......

That I can see.
True. The belief in gods blinds many people to the truth.God is so obvious its blinding!
Evolution has no purposive anything.
Man, at this moment, may have more impact on the natural world than other species. However, roaches have existed for 280,000,000 million years. Man? 100,000, maybe.
It looks like your god favors roaches over humans.
The "purposive potential" can be seen in the innate instincts for survival, adaptation and perfection hunger.
In the meantime, thousands of gods have come and gone.It will be universally known that there is a Creator God and he will probably share with us when and how he did it and then with our eyes and understanding fully open, we'll all smile with a big "ahhhhh.... now I get it, it all makes sense...."
The Atheist "belief" in a godless universe is just that, a kind of pessimistic faith.

Your opinion is noted and so is your clairvoyance. Personally I'll stick to reality
My comment is more directed to people who believe God created the world and also believe in a young earth with no evolution. I was sharing a perspective on how one can keep thier faith in God, believe the Bible, and remain open to science.
Yet you addressed your comment to me
We have massive evidence of that.The fact that evolution began with primitive forms of marine life and kept falling upstairs to the point wherein it produced a conscious mind that demands evidence.
