Here are my top three favorite questions to Evolutionists:
1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).

1. a. Light didn't/hasn't/doesn't evolve.
Here I go, rising to the bait: 1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).
Obviously you can't - but unfortunately for you, far from proving that the account of creation in the Book of Genesis is literally true, this comprehensively disproves it.
2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?
Again, you are making the mistake of commencing from the premise of biblical inerrancy. Evolution is not concerned about whether you identify a theological need for it - it continues apace anyway.
Two-nil so far. Your questions are backfiring on you somewhat, aren't they.
3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?"
You muppet. No one knew of evolution at the time - that came some 1,800 years later. And if you really don't wish to accept the reality of evolution, then that's your own funeral, but I will not stand idly by while people attempt to foist this nonsense on schoolchildren.
1. Whoops. You sir have fucked up the age. Of course, I'm sure a book made by ignorant people way back in the past, claiming everything without proof, are much more correct than people who have proof and years of research on their side that the universe isn't only 6000 years old. Not even the earth is that young.
YOU MAKE IT SO DAMN EASY!
Right back at ya:destroy it all in a flood? Did he screw something up?
3) If I don't believe in God, why should I believe in Jesus? I'm sure they probaby didn't believe in indoor plumbing back then, either. Doesn't make it any less REAL, now does it?
1. I don't accept the stories in Genesis as accurate. The universe is much older than 6000 years.
I just don't see why he'd even want to ask these questions of "evolutionists", since generally the only people that would actually agree with his three statements are creationists. Possibly he's aiming this at "Christians who believe in Evolution" - as he would be starting from the premise that the Christian must believe the Bible, therefore there is some sort of conflict of belief. Not surprising this is on CF, I see a lot of fundies there believe that if you are a Christian, you believe everything they believe, and if you don't believe those same things, you can't possibly be a real Christian.
<<< 1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1). >>>
I'd say that this post is almost deserving of a Self-Inflicted Refutation Award, since the questions clearly show weaknesses of the creationist viewpoint, not the scientific one, in matching with reality.
For those of you playing along at home, here is Mark 13:9 (NIV translation):

Here are my top three favorite answers to Creationists:Oooooh, don't go there girlfriend!
3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?"
Nobody had thought of it back then. Had they, he might have incorporated it, given that he was a preacher. If he existed at all.
Explain a 6000 year old universe in the light of a galaxy a million light years away. looks like a million-light-year-distant galaxy to even the best telescopes (the Cepheid variables are a nice touch!).
The image is being projected from the Vault of the Heavens, an indestructable transparent dome covering the entire (flat) Earth a few miles above our heads.
Tracer, I've seen you on here often enough to be pretty sure that's sarcasm, but try not to run afoul of Poe's Law, okay?
Mu.
1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).
The universe is several billion years old. if you didn't base everything off the bible you might be able to get that.
2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?
Because God doesn't exist and is therefore unable to pronounce anything good. Life was created through a natural process and evolved to adapt to changing enviroments.
3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?
Because Jesus was a Bronze Age con artist.
1) Not a problem, since the universe is older than 6000 years.
2) Since God pronounced His Creation very good, then why guinea worms, filaria nematodes, rabies virus, ebola, influenza, Anopheles mosquitos that carry malaria, screwworm larvae, giardia, V. cholerae, and stonefishes like little venomous caltrops that blend into the rocks and sand of shallow sea bottoms just waiting for a diver to step on them? Did God make those too?
3) Undoubtedly he wouldn't have believed in cars, laptop computers, open-heart surgery, anesthetics, electric motors, superglue, heliocentric theory, and advanced calculus, because none of those things existed at the time he is said to have lived--and yet we use those things because we find them useful.
Prove the following, then we will talk:
You may not use your Bible as a reliable source. There must be a lot of other sources out there you can use.
1. Big Bang. And Biology =/= Cosmology.
Since we Atheists only accept hard, solid, physical evidence, and the Bible contains none whatsoever (thus any & all claims made by the likes of you AV1611VET based on said book of fairytales. And you think the eyes emit light); listen to you ? Why should we?
*Spoiler Alert, Harry Potter*
Here are three just as valid questions
1. Explain Peter Pettigrew hiding with Ron Weasley at Hogwarts for three years, when the Weasley twin's had the Marauders' Map.
“1. Explain evolution in light of a 6000 year universe - (Genesis 1).”
“2. Since God pronounced His Creation "very good" in Genesis 1:31 - why the need for Evolution?”
“3. Since Jesus didn't believe in Evolution - (Mark 10:6; 13:9) - why should we?”
Confused?
