EvC Forum: How long does it take to evolve?

Lamden writes:

I am here to investigate the truth for no one but myself. I have heard presentations from both sides of the coin, and I am trying to be intellectually honest by putting my own, independent thoughts out and seeing whether they hold water from advocates of both sides.
Lying? I started with a question, which if answered, would shed light on the subject, at least as I perceive it. ( I know there is much I don't know about this subject. I thought I could use this site some intellectual feedback from people that know more about it than me. ) Perhaps I should have started with that intro rather than giving the impression that I am already sold on e/v. If I were trying to preach, I would understand your disgust. But that is not my intention at all.

Welcome Lamden. Good to have you on board. Sometimes you need a thick skin on this site.

I think though that you are drawing a false dichotomy. It doesn't have to be either creationism or natural evolution. There is also the strong possibility of creationism using the evolutionary process. If, evolution is a result of a pre-existing intelligence then the question of how long it would take becomes a moot point. We would have no way of knowing about the original plan or even if there has been an intervention along the way.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
