            If God is going to bring about intelligent life through natural
    processes then times on the order of the present age of the universe would be
    required in order to have formation of 1st & 2d generation stars, planetary
    systems, life, &c. & an expanding universe a few billion years old is going to
    be at least a few billion light years across.
