The only kind of evolution that might take billions of years is the theory that a bacteria became an elephant. All other types of evolution on the earth take anywhere between a hundred years and several thousand years.BlackManINC said:You are missing the entire point of why they need the earth to be billions of years old in the first place. It is the very idea of an old earth that allows for the input of evolutionary ideas that undermines the very foundation of scripture. This is why the age of the earth is so important to its supporters. Undermining the six day creation is the beginning of undermining the rest of the creation account. Without "billions of years", the evolutionist has nothing going for it, because it is time that is the magic wand of evolution.
Ask a dog breeder. It only takes one hundred years to produce a new breed of dog from two or more older breeds. Humans have even changed over time from a single race to several. It didn't take billions of years, only a few thousand. Same goes for plant life. It can take less than a human lifespan to create a new species of rose or citrus fruit.
It's the whole one type of life-form turning into another type that evolutionists can't prove unless they have billions of years... and even that won't work because it relies on partially-evolved body parts living on a creature for millions of years without evolving back off because they are useless until fully formed. Even the evolutionist's vestigial body parts theory has been blown out of the water with updated understandings of their purpose.
