Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.
Fools.
The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily.

Darwinists are far funnier, if only because they are more strident and belligerent.
The point is, not all the detail is given in Genesis, but while there were no "scientists" around then to observe and refute the Genesis narrative, we do have a written record handed down by oral tradition until Moses put it in writing, hence I will side with the written narrative as opposed to evolutionary speculation.
But...but...but...AlGore says we are doomed because we buy gas guzzling SUV's and that causes Global Warming! And everone knows how smart Algore is.
Why.... he invented the internet!
'The Bible is a book, written down by men (whether or not it is inspired by God, the hand of man produced it)."
To which I have physical proof: I used to belong to Second Baptist in Houston, Tx (great church). Doctor Ed Young (an Excellent pastor)once cleared up a mystery for me during a sermon. I had inherited a 250 year old Lutheran Psalm book in which were numerous woodcuts (etchings). I recognized all the pictures but one was confusing: a man who appeared to be Moses with two tablets in his hand but depicted wearing horns on his head! One day Doctor Young explained that an early mistranslation in the first German bibles of the word for radiant (when Moses came down the mountain from seeing God he was radiant) was mis-translated in the first ever German bibles to the word "horned" due to a similarity in the Latin or Greek words. Thus my early German book showed Moses coming down from the mountain with "horns" on his head! You can imagine the confused Germans pondering the unknowable mind of God, when realy it is the very fallible mind of MAN messing up HIS work.....
