That's the beauty of David Hilbert's philosophy of physics. Everyone is free to favor any cosmology they like, just so long as it exists in the atlas of all conceivable universes.

So discussion of whether there was a probablility that it could have happened in six days is irrelevant. It didn't.

My aim at this time is to debate physics, not geology. As in observational cosmology, interpreting the fossil record requires that we first select one of many possible axiom sets.
