I agree...............

but couldn't the process have taken millions of years by design?

Oh absolutely. I'm coming from this as a seminary student, so I tend to view things from a theological standpoint.

The whole point of the Genesis creation account is that God was behind creation. It is a poetic prose that leaves open multitude of possibilites, including vast amounts of time to complete it.

The real issue is time. What is time to God? A million years or 1 second is nothing to him.

I find evolution wanting for other reasons not necessarily having to do with theology but with evidence they use to present it. Solid evidence exists for an old earth/universe, but I am unconvinced of evolution among the species.
