"... He did an "intense study of the bible" ...

No he didn't. If he did he wouldn't be an evolutionist. He is a charlton claiming to be a Christian, follower of Jesus but he isn't. He follows his own teachings. Creationists, like myself shun these phonies.

I agree. If he studied the Bible thoroughly, he would also believe that the Sun orbits a flat Earth (yes, it is a little difficult to conceptualize).

I don't see the problem in believing that God set the conditions for evolution to occur. It takes more genius to set the conditions for evolution to create the animals than to just create them all at once.

Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

It says the God let the earth bring forth the animals after their kind. Could be evolution. I think this anger over evolution is petty. What does it matter whether God used evolution or didn't. It's a miracle either way.

The "days" in Genesis could be any time period.

Gen 1:5 And God [0430] called [07121] (8799) the light [0216] Day [03117], and the darkness [02822] he called [07121] (8804) Night [03915]. And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the first [0259] day [03117].

Taking #3117 from above:

03117 yowm {yome}

from an unused root meaning to be hot; TWOT - 852; n m

AV - day 2008, time 64, chronicles + 01697 37, daily 44, ever 18,

year 14, continually 10, when 10, as 10, while 8, full 8 always 4, whole 4, alway 4, misc 44; 2287

1) day, time, year
1a) day (as opposed to night)
1b) day (24 hour period)
1b1) as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1
1b2) as a division of time
1b2a) a working day, a day's journey
1c) days, lifetime (pl.)
1d) time, period (general)
1e) year
1f) temporal references
1f1) today
1f2) yesterday
1f3) tomorrow

The Hebrew word translated into "day" could be any general time period in this context. A day to God is not the same as a day to us:

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

A day to God can be a very long time for us.
