therefore, in view of all that preceeds, we have established evolution not as a mere fact, but as a theory that comprehends the facts. It certainly, thus, has mythic qualities in its explanatory power that puts it almost beyond question, and as a foundation for much of what we value; but, it bears no relation to myth as that word is is most commonly used (as the antonym for fact).
Actually it is a well documented "factual myth".
God created evolution.
That is why we see so many "evolutionary" traces in the record of fossils.
The question then becomes... "Why ain't it in the bible?"
Hell. I don't know. Probably the same reason that there is no opposition to slavery in the new testatment. Sloppy damned god law keekin' if ya ask me. But... I'll ask God next time I see her.
In the mean time... don't worry too much about it. We know that change and sh!t happens. Over time. If change ever stops then worry. Big time. It means you are dead and the last molecule of your corpse has escaped the earth and returned to space.
<edit> Oh yea. Now we just have to get with old Occum and figure out where God came from. Evolution? Or did his parents "create" him? Or is he outside of time-space?

While I'd absolutely love to get into a discussion as to the meaning of science and archaeology, I'm afraid I have to cut my nails tonight. And the toilet needs a cleaning.
Anybody else wanna take my place in this riveting discussion, please feel free.

dates you used, simply questioning your source for your dates.
Some claims that are thrown out as facts when they are simply
accepted beliefs not recorded data or some fact. When at times when
what is being presented as facts within science is really only
consensus of assumptions, not hard data or something that was truly
recorded or observed. It is easy to make claims about faith with
certain things that a creationist believes simply saying they are
statements of faith and be accurate, but then the same people will
turn around and make mighty assumptions on what is true, when in
truth they only believe something that is accepted not necessarily a
proven fact.
