Regarding Evolution, Time, and Money

[zbdent]

Thinking about how Religious types talk about the age of the Earth and evolution (especially when they talk about how there really hasn't been any evolution lately ... a process that takes place radically only over extremely long periods of time, not just a couple of hundred years ...)

I'm reminded of an old joke (maybe a song?) ...

A man asks God, "What is a million years to you?"

God answers, "A second."

The man then asks, "What is a million dollars to you?"

God answers, "A penny."

The man pauses for a minute, and then asks, "God, may I have a penny?"

God answers, "Sure ... in a second ..."



So, if a million years, to God, is a second, then what was God doing all those millions and billions of years before the 15 or so thousands of years before "creating the Heavens and the Earth"?
