O.K.. ((( Smiles )))

The Gap Theory..
Yes.. I've heard of that one too.
Plus Pastor Doug Batchelor's DVD Evolution, Creation and Logic is a very interesting DVD as well.
He bring's alot to the table as well too.
Plus as you wrote..

I am also aware that we see a lot of evidence for both a young creation and an old creation.

I think he is more of a young earth creationist.
And I think your right in that because he calls alot to mind to think about on that subject.
It's very interesting and he does it well.

And you posted this as well..

Of course, evolutionists don't like to acknowledge the young Earth evidence,
and creationists don't like to acknowledge the old Earth evidence.
To be intellectually honest, we must view all of the evidence.

Yes.. I agree with that as well too.
And so I think it's safe now in that aspect if I post something on that subject below.
In that context just another way of looking at it.
As I like to just study up on both ways of viewing it and see what they have to say about it.

And you posted this..
The universe is old, very old, perhaps hundreds-of-thousands or even millions of years.

Thats what I think too.
In the light of the frustration on both sides.
I think it's O.K. to post this weither you agree with it or not.
Just bringing it to the table like Shepards Chapel or Pastor Doug.
I just like reading interesting things.
Just looking at if from all the different ways of viewing it.
You can appreciate that right???
I hope.
