I want to thank you for commenting at my Fantasy of Evolution blog. ///
Although you say above that there's actually evidence for an old earth, you don't spell it out so I could give you my thoughts on it, and it does seem to me that there is simply no reasonable way to make Genesis accommodate an old earth idea without doing violence to the text. ///
I believe the idea of an old earth also does violence to the GENETICS involved in the difference between the genetic situation if all life started in Eden versus if it evolved from millions of years back. I hope to get into that on my blog eventually.
I'm no scientist and I probably get some things wrong, though I try to stay away from areas I'm unsure about; I simply observe the world through the revelation of the Bible, and with prayer, and I believe God has shown me things secular scientists miss.
