I’ve used this comparison before and it’s worth repeating. If we take the age of the planet to be the distance between Yankee Stadium in NY and the Dodger Stadium in L.A. then if Buff is standing on the pitchers mound at Yankee Stadium, he thinks the equivalent distance is from where he is…to first base at the Yankee Stadium…

These being, do I infer, venues for some arcane sporting events?

Given enough time, the theory of evolution becomes more plausible.

No matter how much time evolution had, it could not happen without guidance from God.

God didn’t have to use evolution to create anything.
 
Of course not. It just matches the evidence that we have best. Makes the most logical sense, considering the linear appearance of features and the commonality of things like flight among completely unrelated groups of organisms. God didn’t have to create using evolution. It just appears as though He did.

Oh, and I’d appreciate an answer to my question.

Yeah…I had to check the details to make sure I had them correct.

I’ve only seen two baseball games. One at Yankee Stadium and another at some minor league town in the middle of nowhere (Clarksville?). I think I view it like an American might view cricket. And I spent a very long and boozy evening at the SCG trying to explain the finer details of a One Day International to a Texan.
 
Ah yes, rounders, isn’t it? My children played that when they were very young.

Don’t take me seriously. I think its place in your sporting culture is like cricket’s in mine, and I reckon cricket is a splendid sport. It’s not for everyone, but I like it.
 
I always thought that cricket looked like it could be interesting, but I couldn’t figure it out and sources to learn about it properly in the US are rather sparse. Short version: I don’t know enough about it to properly appreciate it.

It’s pretty easy to follow.
  • You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
  • Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
  • When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
  • When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
  • Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
  • There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
  • Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
  • When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.
And there aren’t many games you play over five days and still end up as a draw…
 
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

And the really funny bit is that it almost does make sense combined with what I have read and seen before…

In, out, in, out
You shake it all about

You do the hokey cokey
And you turn around
What crickets all about.

It seems to me that many theistic Darwinists see only “science” and fail to recognise the obvious link between the two “D”'s - Darwinism and the Devil.

Wow. Not only do you ignore everything we say which . . . refutes your . . . arguments, you say we’re duped by the devil.

Unbelievable.

If the theory of evolution was true, the Transitional Fossils would prove it.

Once you accept common descent (bug-man) as fact, convincing evidence from transitional fossils is not that important and the gaps can be explained away with some untestable excuse, such as the Artifact Hypothesis.

I don’t recall saying all - or even any - theistic evos have been duped by the devil. Darwinism convinces many people that life on earth didn’t require a Creator, which can result in atheism.

My point is that Darwinism convinces many people that life on earth didn’t require a Creator, which can result in atheism.

If the alternative offered is ID and/or creationism, then Bill was probably right.
