Below is a comment from Danny Faulkner, you may be right on his views on rejecting evolution. While he makes good sense on many science perspectives related to science theory and the universe, IMO, he is "out to lunch" on this topic, and possibly on rejectng evolution, if he does so.

""Comment by Danny Faulkner on October 15, 2013:Jim, the universe was created in six days, about 6,000 years ago. Genesis 1:1 states that in the beginning God created the heaven(s) and the earth. Some try to argue that this is an introductory statement/summary, thus allowing for some of the creation to have been earlier. This tact usually attempts to demonstrate that much of the universe was from an ancient past. However, Genesis 1:14-19 describes God making the stars after he made the earth. This would preclude stars being far more ancient than the earth. Furthermore, Exodus 20:11 states that in six days God made the heaven, earth, and sea, and all that is in them. Three times in Genesis 1:14-19 we're told that the stars are in the heaven, so the description of Exodus 20:11 must include stars as well.""
