Yet another stupid evolution 'debate'

[ziggytrix]

for me the difference is simply one of scale. specifically, scale of time.

100 years is a long time. 1000 years is a really long time. 10000 years is nigh inconceivable for me. logically, i can understand it, but emotionally it is quite alien. so 4.5 billion years (the scientifically accepted age of the Earth) is right out.

it is less logically satisfying, but quite emotionally acceptable to think some clever diety created everything within the past 10000 years, but gave it all a very convincing false history.
