The 6000 year old earth belief is the one that is the most pushed by the creationists. Like in this case. Either way, saying that evolution was started by a god, or is guided by a god does nothing for science. In fact it's a detriment for science. I'll let this cartoon explain why it doesn't work.


I'm not saying you can't hold the belief that evolution is influenced/guided by god. But I am saying that the belief hurts the science, when it's used as such.
