I'm a Christian, and I believe in both. I don't believe in the big bang theory, and I have my own 'explaination' for why the world looks the way it does, without it taking 60 Billion years to make it look that way. (Or however long evolutionists say it took to make the earth look that way.)
A literal interpretation of the Bible is going overboard. There are some things that 'should' be taken literally by those who believe in it, and others, like the story of creation, should be taken as rough approximations.
If you want to get technical, a creationist 'should' believe that the Earth is about 14000 years old. 7000 years for creation, (one per 'day' in the Bible,) and 7000 years for destruction, which we should be nearing the Revelation shortly.
Here's a question for you all who don't believe:
Should the events depicted in the Book of Revelation actually occur, would you then believe?

If it all comes true then I admit I'll believe because I imagine it'll be pretty obvious.
PUt it another way, if this revelation business doesn't come true, will you cease to believe?
