For the Sake of Science

You’ve got your younger Earth creationists and then the old Earth creationists. The YECs have their story laid out pretty clearly. Humans and everything else came into existence 6,000 years ago with no evolution. Okay, got it. Stupid, but I’ve got it. But what I don’t get is the OECs. What dates do they propose for the introduction of animals? When did humans first appear? We certainly haven’t been around 4 billion years. Not 3 billion. Not 10 million. It’s more like 100,000. But how do these crazies match up all the evidence? What was walking around 100,000 years ago? Was it human? How about 40,000 years ago? Human? If not, then what? If so, then why did God wait another 37,000 years to start getting chatty?
