You know what's funny is that St. Augustine dispeled the notion of a literal 6-day Creation about 17 centuries ago. And St. Augustine is considered one of the great religious as well as intellectual thinkers of all time.

Now someone like RaceBannon, from my own experience with him/her, doesn't recognize St. Augustine as anything more special than say, some Christian person off the street.

Of course, I think most evolutionists are pretty arrogant people myself, and do assign to evolution an almost divine quality.

If one looks at the story of creation one sees that God made the lights in the sky on the fourth day. So the day God uses is not the one we associate with the turning of the earth. Also some consider that we are currently in the sixth day when we are being made into God's image and that the seventh day, the day of the Lord's rest with commence with the final victory over evil, for the wicked shall not enter into the Lord's rest.

I don't believe in macroevolution as there is no evidence for it, but microevolution within the species has a large amount of documented evidence on its side. Evidence against macroevolution exists, for example if you attempt to advance a characteristic in a species by selective breeding, that line will either become sterile or will revert back to the species norm, it is known as species statis i believe, although it might have another more common name.
