Because, the world was not created in 7 days!!!!! I think believers should take this as a metaphore, maybe each day means (X) Million Years, but it annoys me when they are so SURE world was created in just 7 days.

What about proven things, differences in Years from first animals and Humans. Dinosaurs alone lived millions of years ago.

The POINT IS:

I really dislike when I discuss this matter with a believer as they rather believe in a big ball of air (called faith) which they cant touch or see or prove and not believe in proven evolution of animal species, in DNA and Carbon tests. They refuse to listen to it and believe in it. They even say it is a lie or whatever. I can hold a bunch of bones, which I can see, touch and study and still they will always believe in their big ball of air.

Wouldn it be wiser to adapt their Creation story to modern findings? Would it be easier to believe if they said that it was god's plan for us to evolve, to grow step by step instead of having everything ready made? Wouldn it be less "fairy-tale like" to say that he created life in its simplest form and molded it and helped it develop until it reached "perfection".

I think this would help a lot in the way that it would sound less childish and more up to date with whats really going on.

Just my toughts.

PS
Not that if they changed the bible's version for this one I would believe, but at least it would sound ess impossible.
