My goodness, what utter nonsense.

I suppose if you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old these kind of arguments seem worth having. But I happen to believe the Earth is billions of years old and humans have only been around for about 250,000 years. It's hard to take Christianity -- a belief system conjured up a mere 2,000 years ago -- very seriously. It's trendy now, but a flash in the pan generally speaking.
