Gotcha. Makes sense. So then, how does one reconcile this with creationism? Or can we?

Deism does the trick as well as anything I know - the belief that God created the Universe, gave it physical laws, then let it unfol according to those laws.

Alternately, one might believe that God is falsifying the evidence, letting us discover things that aren't really true. Some people like to believe this; personally, I find this representation of God to be abhorrent at best.

Aaaaarrrgh. I hate proofing my own work.

That should be: "the belief that God created the Universe, gave it physical laws, then let it unfold according to those laws."

But, that completely obliterates the belief that God created man in his image, Adam.

I know that sounds probably silly to most, but that is how I was raised.

Is there any way to account for or explain that? Or is that just strict religious belief?
