I don't intend to start a debate, or really even a discussion. I just have one exceedingly dumb question.
Just how stupid do you think scientists are?
And it is not as though it is impossible to simultaneously believe in creation and accept science, any more than it's impossible to believe evolution is the hand of a patient God in action. One must simply accept that in dictating the Bible to human scribes, God used metaphor here and there, for the benefit of his early audience who defined anything equal to or greater than 'thousand' as 'many beyond count' and thus had no way to distinguish between several thousand and several billion.
