Dissension in the ranks.

The first aim of the current module is "To understand the controversy in some religious circles over the age of the universe." I've recently come across something that is somewhat controversial in the science world, not just religion.

Church held a "men's breakfast" a little while ago, which of course I was not invited to, being of the female variety and all. However at church someone gave a quick run down of what a guest speaker who is a brain surgeon said. It was said that this surgeon (who is a Christian) had said that geology claims that the earth is so many years old (15 billion if I remember correctly) and genetic investigation suggests that humans evolved lets say 10 thousand years ago, this surgeon claims that none of these times would have been sufficient for the evolution of the very complex human brain. In my interpretation of what was going on this seemed to be him saying that this was some of his evidence that leans against evolution and towards spontaneous creation. As one with no major objections to the model of evolution at this current moment, I found this a very peculiar and curious claim.
