I’m an intelligent design creationist, and I think time was one of the parts of creation. Time changes depending on speed, if I understand correctly, the passage of time at a stationary point is different than with an object traveling at a high rate of speed. The passage of time depends on whether the observer is the one traveling, the one being stationary, or the Creator who is outside of time.

Obviously, great variety is built into the DNA code of any species, so you get Great Danes and Chihuahuas. Adaptation to environment over time makes sense to me as well as an average advantage being replicated over time.

How many generations died from "random mutations" ? Your comment implies that those "Mutations" had a purpose. Without purpose, and given the survival rate of random mutations, the math simple doesn't work.

I'm pretty much with you, the most important admonition from the Bible about this whole issue is the first sentence. That's the crux of the matter.

Looking at the scientific theory (and evidence) for the creation of the Hawaiian Island chain (and the entire chain of what appear to be ex islands underwater to the West and North) is fascinating. What shocked us is how creative and marvelous the creation process is. Looking at the volcanic creation of an island with zero life, then how it was slowly taken over by life forms that eventually thrived was incredible. Seeing the manifestation of that process on the different islands is truly eye opening.

These verses are interesting in this regard:

Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

Psa 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity predicts black holes, as many are aware, but he also predicted something called a white hole. This can only appear at the beginning of the universe, and if one were near where the white hole originated, relativistic effects, meaning that speeds far greater than the speed of light would be possible.

So if the earth was near the point where the white hole originated, we would’ve seen the heavens stretch out like a curtain, at mindboggling speeds. Billions of years could elapse in space while only a day would’ve elapsed here. Maybe this sort of helps explain why these prophets said what they said.
