Here's something I don't get, and there's a lot I don't get when it comes to creationists... If you believe in a deity powerful enough to create a whole universe in six days, why can't you believe that the deity could be patient enough to take billions of years to do it, setting events in motion to bring about planets, stars, and life, then setting evolution in motion to bring about humanity?
Not only doesn't this god seem to have the patience to take billions of years to create everything, rushing through it all, but if we are in the End Times, that deity apparently feels the need to destroy it all again in the blink of a cosmic eye.
So yet another reason I can't understand why people can believe and excuse such a mercurial, tempermental god.
