"Deep time" is the evolutionists' answer to Goddidit. It is an arbitrary assumption anyone can make but is beyond the realm of empirical test.
I can understand interpreting evidence through the prism of naturalism. It is an easy matter to dismiss divine intervention through reason. What I cannot understand is why such an interpretation must be given sole reign where education is concerned and be allowed to retain a credibility related to science.

Precisely. As scientific 'facts' are disproven, time gets deeper to remove even further the possibility of testing.

And yet, evolutionists are obstinate that they speak on the basis of evidence, and creationists on the basis of faith.

I, too, agree that evolutionary theory should be taught in schools, but it needs to be taught honestly.......as a philosophy based on deductions and not science based on empirical evidence.

I personally believe that at some point in the future, the theory is going to get so ridiculous that it might happen.
