Re: On topic news
You might claim that the Creationist invokes the magic of a creator. I maintain that the evolutionist’s plight is much worst. Observable chemistry and physics does not cooperate with the theory of evolution. He must maintain that an entity such as time (without any intent to create) must take the place of an all-knowing all-powerful creator.
The "evolutionist" (a term that I still maintain is a creationist invention and red herring) does not need to invoke any kind of "new" chemistry nor physics. At least, not so long as we accept the time-frame of earth history that has become apparent by the evidence.
That tired old "time as magic" canard is part and parcel of young-earth creationism which ignores the long history of our planet in favor of an extremely shortened chronology of less than 10,000 years.
Invoking more time does not satisfy the untenable nature of the suggestion.
Invoking the correct amount of time, as per the evidence and not as per YEC prejudices, presents no known problems.
