Certainly not to me, but I guess some are a little more rational and some tend to go to explaining everything by unseen supernatural forces.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the evolution itself is also an “unseen” force. That’s my point. Its no more rational to believe in it than to believe in a creator. “Rational” does not equal “without God”.
And more to the point, we were talking about someone that had access to the fossil record but no biblical knowledge. This is the opposite situation of what the world was like until the 1800’s or so.
In that situation, just looking at the evidence, there’s simply no WAY someone would say all the species were formed at the same time and have only died off with no new ones appearing. I’m sorry you don’t agree, but it’s true.
