Correct. All such allegations are illogical. I thought the same thing when I read this argument. I would suggest that denying the obviousness of theistic evolution denies the power and wisdom of God who devised it. There is simply no validity to this sort of reasoning.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts...

I don't see how the earth being 4.54 billion yrs old, the universe being 13.8 billion yrs, and the earth taking a lot longer to form then 6 days, disagrees with the bible and limits God.
If the fact that it took longer then 6 days to create everything limits God, then I could say that because God could have created the world in 6 hrs, or 6 min, or even 6 sec, and it came about in 6 days, is a disgrace to God because he could have created the world much faster. Of course that is a ridiculous argument.
And yes the world was created in 6 days......in the book of genesis. That doesn't mean that the world was ACTUALLY created in 6 days. To believe that you have to assume the genre of the creation story, is that focused on 100% historical accuracy, and that the reference to 6 days, HAS to also reference 6 HISTORICAL days of creation. Though plenty would disagree with you that the focus of the creation story and the 6 days, is not that of historical accuracy but more focused on questions about God, Man, Nature, theological things, instead of being a story focused on historical/scientific truth (which is why there are many references to ancient/incorrect cosmology in the story).
