What disturbed me really was the age of the earth issue.
I think this is where the problem would arrise. If you do not believe the earth "old", then I can easily see how swallowing evolution would be a problem.
Yes, I do periodically follow some new development in evolution
Without an understanding about how geology has come to its conclusions, how can anyone be expected to understand evolution? It would be pointless to study the results of evolution while at the same time rejecting the results of geology. I am not exactly critizing the fact you reject evolution; based on your pre-existing ideas of the age of the Earth the 'Theory of Evolution' immediatly becomes impossible.
Instead of basing your focus on the problems evolution presents in your young earth view. Would it not be better to first focus on the primary problem of the Earths age, before discounting evolution in a seriously lacking timescale?
ABE: I didn't address the topic, sorry mods.
