Creationism.
I suspect that evolution is the mechanism.
I too suspect that the creation story is symbolic. After all, Genesis 1 says that the animals came first and Genesis 2 says that man came first. To me this is a pretty clear indication that you're not supposed to take the creation story literally.
As a scientist and Christian (not a Christian Scientist), contradictions drive me up the wall. God is an ass for not making this more clear.

As far as 10,000 years is concerned, the creation story also talks about God creating day and night, i.e., time, so no time discrepancies or intermediate animals (that is to say Dinosaurs, fire breathing or otherwise) bother me.
