    Don't you know that God created everything in six days, the world's only 5000 years old,

    Don't see how that's any less believable than we all came from slime (and before that, hydrogen) and the world is 10 billion years old. Be careful about passing off theory as fact. Evolution is just as much a religion as Creationism.
