I didn't realize that.
Hmmm. That's not what I've read.
I do not believe man is related to archaea or cyanobacteria.
What about theistic evolution?
I consider myself to be one such person.
The universe approaches the limit of infinite age.
The Earth is believed to be 4.6 billion years old but it is probably older than that.
OK. So that could have been 900 trillion years ago for all you know.
It's a fairly wide-spread phenomenon. I'm surprised you've never heard of it.
No. But then again, I'm not the one asserting that opinion.
Then they are creationists in the vague sense that "God created something somehow some time ago", rather than the more common and specific meaning.
Why not?
What about it? Creationism, as I see it, is incompatible with evolution: the former asserts that the various species poofed into existence as is ~6000 years ago, while the latter asserts that all life on Earth is descended from a single common ancestor that lived ~3.5 billion years ago.
Indeed, though I've yet to see someone reject evolution who wasn't a) ignorant of the evidence through no fault of their own, b) intellectually incapable of grasping the theory, or c) a zealot who rejects the theory on religious grounds.
Why is that absurd?
I do not believe the Earth was created 6000 years ago and I do not believe in evolution. So what am I according to you?
Because we are multicellular organisms.
I believe both of these views are naive and based upon less than zero evidence.
I reject evolution on scientific grounds. There is nothing in the Bible that is opposed to evolution. Rather it is observational and physical evidence that contradict evolution.
The universe approaches the limit of infinite age. Claiming that the universe is only 14 billion years old contradicts observational evidence.
Neither an evolutionist, nor a Creationist (or more specifically, a Young Earth Creationist). I have a feeling you're an Old Earth Creationist, though.
That we are multicellular doesn't mean we're not related to cyanobacteria. Evolution is more than capable of generating multicellular species from monocellular ones.
Virtually every field of science has provided evidence for the theory of evolution. Why do you consider there to be "less than zero evidence" for evolution?
Such as?
That statement does not make sense, or rather, it's so vague as to be meaningless. As anything ages, its age tends towards infinity.
Such as?
Why do you feel the need to lie by falsely accusing people of bearing false witness when you have no evidence?
I've actually met people (online, at least) who fully accept the evidence and everything, but reject it on wholly religious grounds. Mind-boggling.
They're proud of their beliefs. You gotta admire them for their conviction, if nothing else.
I don't think it's technically bearing false witness: they genuinely believe what they're saying is true.
Because the animals we see today are billions of years old and haven't evolved into any new animal. When I asked an evolutionist what animal archaea, cyanobacteria, echinoids, and the tuatara are evolving into they said they are evolving into themselves which made me laugh.
"...Evolution makes the strong prediction that if a single fossil turned up in the wrong geological stratum, the theory would be blown out of the water. When challenged by a zealous Popperian to say how evolution could ever be falsified, J.B.S. Haldane famously growled: 'Fossil rabbits in the Precambrian.'" -- Richard Dawkins, biologist, 2006
Not if it has a finite lifespan.
Such as stars which are assumed to be older than 14 billion years old.

Dawkins said "a single fossil in the wrong geological stratum". Do you claim the Cretaceous is not a geological stratum? Evolutionists are far more ignorant than I ever imagined. I can see conversing with you is utterly pointless.
