- Catastrophism is more or less orthogonal to the evolution/creation debate.

- I myself come closer to being a creationist; I certainly don't speak for

- Which is not to say that I believe in a 6000 year old earth or that I do not

- believe that there is any way of demonstrating the multi-million year
- timeframes commonly given out for ages of life on this earth.
