December 20 2012 CE will be 12.19.19.17.19 and December 21st 2012 CE will be (shock horror) 13.0.0.0.0. - the completion of one "Grand Cycle". According to the Mayan creation myth, we are living in the "4th world". The third is said to have ended on 12.19.19.17.19, and likewise, according to the apocalyptomaniacs, will the fourth. For some reason, however, the Mayans thought it was important enough to record events, such as eclipses, that would occur after December 21st 2012 CE, so they didn't seem worried. In fact the Mayans had a unit of time alautun which corresponds to about 63 million years, or 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 on the Long Count (told you they were pedantic).
My opinion is that it is a mixture of both, because after all, we had to have come from somewhere, but like all living things, we adapted and evolved to strive in any environment. The major flaw in this standpoint is that creationism is not specifically defined, meaning it could be from the very creations of our souls to the natural cycle of life.
Actually the biblical timeline from creation to present day is around ten-thousand years and could represent the beginnings of the Jewish culture in the middle east allowing for the bible and evolution to, once again, co-exist.
No it wouldn't. 10,000 years is not enough time for a species to evolve into a different one. You may get environmental adaptation within that time - of course down to natural selection and survival of the fittest, but not a completely separate species. In 10,000 years you could say - domesticate a wolf into a pet dog but you couldn't get Birds from pterosaurs.

Well that doesn't really matter because species don't evolve, now does it?
End Christian snobbishness
But for seriously Wolves to dogs? roflwaffle to the max bro What will we be in 10 million years? Dragons or something?
I meant that the "creation" of the world would actually represent the creation of Jewish (or all middle Eastern) cultures which occured around ten-thousand years.
