- Jim, you don't think the earth has existed long enough for evolution to take
- place. This alone makes your position inconsistant with Bill's. Are you
- taking
- a new stand or were you unaware of the timescales on which evolution operates?
- Or did God simulate a universe in hich evolution has gone on for hundreds of
- millions or billions of years when he created everything? That last answer
- brings back God the deciever...
