"Well, science is a particular interest of mine, and evolution/Creationism is one of the relatively few areas where conservatives will tell falsehoods (knowingly and otherwise) to other conservatives. So, you have the confluence of science, anti-science and internal debate."
Ok, I'll buy that. I have to agree with you there.
> Does anyone else notice a lack of impulse control among people like this professor?
No more so than most other people engaged in private conversations regarding topics that both people dislike.

This man hasn't progressed emotionally past the age of 15. I would have dropped his class after the first session, were I unfortunate enough to have signed up for it.

Again, it is the lack of knowledge of scripture that belies the arguments against I.D.. They leave out the part about a day is like a thousand years to God. In other words God is not a temporal being and his actions cannot be explained or defined in temporal terms.

" In other words God is not a temporal being and his actions cannot be explained or defined in temporal terms."
Seems pretty clear to me.
I really don't understand why people insist that He did everything in 7 24-hour days. I mean, not that He couldn't if He wanted to, but what does "an hour" mean to God?
A "day" to us is one revolution of the Earth on its axis. What was it to God before He created the Earth?
