If it were up to the creationist luddites science wouldn't have gotten beyond the 1800's. And boy, Little House on the Prairie sure was a great way of life...

Not so. There have been plenty of scientists that believe in their work, AND believed that God could do things that are impossible for man.

Do I detect you looking down your nose at that way of life?
Tonight there are people still living that way in the US that are totally unaffected by the ice storm power outages. They are able to raise their own food, heat their houses, and thank God for it all. They have my respect.
The God-fearing people recognize that the world was made to function as it does. Does it seem old? Only to the natural man, who also doesn't believe that the little lad's lunch bypassed a sizable amount of time in food preparation. (Gosh! I coulda swore all those extra fish Jesus pulled out of that basket looked at least 2 years old!)
Which is more impossible:
water into wine?
Red Sea parting?
manna from heaven?
creating earth?
blood that can wash away sin?
Yes, I believe God made the world, turn-key, and ready for life very quickly, just like he made the multitudes lunch very quickly.
Now, go look in the mirror, eye to eye with yourself. See your systems at work; another one of countless video streams being recorded in your almost infinite storage site. Your sense of smell retrieves from those same storage files, a red flag: "It's time for a bath". Your hearing retrieves another flag: "Hurry up in there! I gotta go!" Your memory banks recall the sense of touch, as you jump into the shower and a significant other steps into the bathroom and flushes the toydee. (feel the warmth) ;)
And that, as they say, is just the tip of the iceberg.
