The problem with most people now days is that they simply can't say "I don't 
know." So they latch on to various theories even when they don't make a lot 
of sense. Then, as they try to plug up the "holes" in their theories, they 
get and more more far-fetched.

I don't have to know *how* God created the universe and everything in it 
because I admit that I believe in God by faith. And, at least the belief in 
an All Powerful Creator makes logical sense. The complexity of creation 
points to a Creator, not to blind chance and whole chains of increible 
beneficial mutations (that we never see in the real world).

BTW, I don't really believe in a "young earth." I tend to think the "days" 
of Genesis were more likely "eras" or "epochs."
