To agentorangex, I have to say that you seem to operate out of a picture of Christians that the media has fed you. Many Christian people who have kept their faith in tact after years of college and being out in the real world have dealt with doubts fueled inwardly and outwardly. They have not been able to rest on the teaching of their churches from their younger years. That is not a luxury of being a Christian any longer - though I'll readily admit many attempt to do so - but they are usually the ones who don't dare share their faith any longer, as they don't have any "real" answers for the world around them.

So much of what else is said above has to do with mechanics of creation. I've read Genesis anew these last few years and have seen that FROM THE SCRIPTURES themselves, long (aka "huge")periods of development are intrinsic to what is being said. The core of the debate is whether it all happened randomly or if it happened by God's guiding hand. There is absolutely no way to provide proof of either - outside of making words and phrases up that lead back upon themselves. Can you observe marco-evolution taking place? No, not outside of laboratory pre-conditions within micro-evolution. But to add up (or perhaps better said, multiply) those odds of all those events taking place to get to man, those are beyond the scope of imagination (yes, I do understand that in random chance evolution, there was no goal, just outcomes). However, it takes a lot of faith to believe that, just as to believe in a God who made it all by His guiding hand. I'll go with the latter, for entirely different reasons:
The resurrection of Christ and the evidence thereof.
The evidence of God in my own life and non-random events, no matter how you slice any other knowledge up. In a real sense, I have experienced way too much of God to not realize that randomness is just a dream by those who enjoy being in a Star Trek fantasy land.

So, don't confuse mechanics of life development with God. The mechanics are incredible, and worth great study and admiration - but greater still the God who put them into place.
