I thought it was pretty funny how he had to eat crow from a superior intellect that was to some extent, on his side.

Collins said 'Creationism' as it's proposed, hasn't been around very long and is absurd as it's presented compared to the body of evidence for evolution and the natural sciences--and taking Genesis literally is impossible unless you want to cast out reason completely. He felt (as IwantFUEGO mentioned above) that the only rational way to approach the dilemma, if one chooses to believe in a Supreme Being, is to accept that God uses Evolution to get the job done.

Anyway, I have to listen to this ultra-right lunatic every day and it was fun listening as he got his ass handed to him by someone who was actually educated enough and rational enough to understand the issues.
Hamlet, God aged the earth perfectly in the figurative six listed. There is alot of numberology that I question if most not familiar would obviously be aware of........... in a Kind of a round about......... in a round about way.
