Most of you, agreeing or not, have a kind of buried metaphor of God as standing at the beginning of the temporal sequence, like a man bowling a ball. That necessarily leads to the wrong kinds of paradoxes.
Since God is not before time, but, in a sense, behind it at all temporal points, he can't really make a thing here to go through such and such a process and turn into that thing. From inside time, things do change through processes and we do know God for Creator through revelation. But you misunderstand the revelation if you imagine God starting things that go on and away from Him.
Of course evolution, starry or biotic, is good science, depending on facts and observations within the temporal sequence, ie, the observable world. The ideas under the flag of creationism are based on a confusion of time and eternity, at best; of foolish and quite innovative [not a good word in theology!] modes of reading the OT and then trying to build the stony house of science on that heterodox sand.
