So it's your turn Ron, you know you aren't the brightest bulb in the tree, right? Do you know why? Lets look at that. I designed humans to have IQ's of 100, nice of those scientists to have figured that one out btw. So lets suppose half of you had IQ's of 200. What would be the IQ of the other half, hmm? Zero you say? So what if only 1/4th of you had IQ's of 200, the rest? 25? You get the picture? Suppose EVERYONE had IQ's of 200. Who would dig the ditches? Not me says Roger, I am working on my PHD in upper managment. Not me, says Sally, I am working on my MD specializing in the left hemisphere of the brain.
So the really smart ones only number in a few hundred out of millions.
Now, look at you. You already know you are not the brightest bulb in the tree, but also you are not the dimmest.
Yet you let those people who are actually not as smart as you dictate your whole outlook on life, such as thinking the really stupid idea the earth is only a few thousand years old. Try this acid test:
Look at the moon through a telescope. You see all those craters? Making a solar system is really really messy. I had to sling around a lot of rocks and dust to make it come out as it is in your solar system. So look at those craters. If it was all made say, 10,000 years ago, it was molten red hot back then. So tell me this mr. Hinds:
Why is it not glowing red now? An entire planet at one point in time is glowing red hot. 10,000 years later astronauts walk around on the moon without getting their feet burned? Come on, think about it.
The universe really is 14 billion years old. So when I talked about doing it in 7 days, each day is billions of years for me.
Look, I have done this universe thing thousands of times before, you didn't really think your universe was the only one going did you?
I have had a LOT of practice at this universe thing. Great fun btw.
So listen to me, your Lord speaking:
Do you really think I would want to have my fingers in every nook and cranny of your entire universe, btw, there are thousands of other earths just like yours, do you think I want to be sitting around guiding the way crops grow, who get rain and all that?
I INVENTED evolution so I wouldn't have to do all that crap. I have MUCH better things to do than to be thinking, oh man, that species of frog is going to have a hard time of it because the water it lives in is going to get very hot, so I have to make that frog with thicker skin so it can survive? Multiply that time a million and I am supposed to watch out for every bacteria being attacked by a virus and every blade of grass that is going to turn into rice plants and so forth?
Believe me, I have better things to do than baby sit an entire universe, which is why I frigging INVENTED evolution to do all that work automatically.
What have you to say for yourself Mr Hinds?

would not try to trick me in Your Holy Word by saying You can not lie and then
describing each of the 6 creation days as having a morning and an evening
just like the days I know of today and then expecting me to believe these days
were billions of years in length. And besides if You created all plant life on the
3rd day, You are too smart to wait billions of years before you created the Sun
to give them light because the plants could not survive without sunlight.
You would not leave your creations completely vunerable to changes in the
environment. So I realize you have put programs in your creations so they can
reproduce and "adapt" to changing conditions to make them better able to
survive. And I also realize you did not make so many "kinds" of creatures so they
might change from the "kind" of creature you made them to some other "kind" of
creature that you never intended. So in that program you put limits on how
much "adaptation" each "kind" of creature could make to prevent that "kind" of
creature from "evolving" into another "kind" of creature. I have proof of this
because there has never been a report of anyone seeing a creature of a certain
"kind" that You made "evolve" into a different "kind" of creature. That is,
nobody has ever saw an Ape give birth to a Human even though they are very
close in characteristics. I think that is very smart of You, Lord. HalleluYah !!!
P.S. Since I believe you have the power to create the moon in one day, I also
believe you have the power to cool it down to the proper temperture in one day.
Now aren't You proud You saved me?

Just because you never saw something like an ape bearing a human, it happens in very slow (for you humans anyway. For me, a blink of an eye) time scales, So my evolution trick started out humans and apes alike, cousins that you are, several million years ago, cute little feckers, hands almost human, then over hundreds of thousands of years ( I know you can't accept that, having been duped by people not even as smart as you). But that's how it went down. Live with it.
