Two truths

Ben, what you are getting at (I think) is day-age creationism, which is a form of old earth creationism, though you might be saying that the creation stories in Genesis are true in a allegorical sense but not true in a literal sense, and effectively getting at a form of deism or evolutionary creationism. We do have quite a few pages on creationism and those are quite extensive, fitting all that into a page on evolution wouldn't do it justice. Dunc|☺ 18:02, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

PS The strongest advocates of creationism fall into two camps; the young earth creationists and the intelligent designists, because they cause the most controversy, because they try to present religion as science, so that is why you may not have seen those in between, though the essay Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution is quite famous.
