A minha versão da Criação

Como geólogo e cristão, custa-me imenso ver alguns fazerem figuras tristes falando em criacionismo científico, como ocorre quase diariamente no Blog De Rerum Natura. Uma Terra com cerca de seis mil anos (6.010, para ser mais exacto, como há poucos dias referimos) é de tal maneira uma teoria estúpida que não merecia, em qualquer circunstância, ser referida, com excepção do momento em que avança pelo mundo todo uma campanha pelo ensino do Criacionismo e da sua versão pós-moderna made in USA do Design Inteligente (ou ID). Acho que as anedotas científicas devem ser combatidas com humor, pelo que aqui fica a minha versão da forma de que devia ser o mito da Criação da Terra e do Homem, se Deus vivesse nos nossos dias...
