I think the biggest addendum to this would be to point out the difference in believeing in something and having something proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to you. There are four camps in the Evolution/Creationism issue: - Those that believe that the world was created by God in 7 days and think that the evolutionists are delisional. - Those that believe that the world was created by God, but what the Bible refers to as 7 days might have taken a bit longer than what we see as "days" and that the 4.3 billion years are probably included in there somewhere. - Those that believe that the world followed a path of evolution that only started being documented after 4.3 billion years and the Bible is a guestimate that sums up what a divine being would have done in 6 days with a break at the end. - Those that believe that the universe began with a bang and followed an evolutionary course that some weak-minded people think was led by a divine being, but since there's so much emprirical evidence showing that man came from apes and that dinosaurs roamed the earth and no physical evidence evidence for the divine intervention so there is no opposing argument. .. actually there might be more, but there's your generalization :) It's rather obvious in some cases where different people stand.
