Cruz is clearly a very clever man but he believes in creationism. How does that work?
Well, basically, creationists believe that the creation days of Genesis 1 were six literal (24-hour) days, which occurred 6,000–12,000 years ago. They believe that about 2,300–3,300 years before Christ, the surface of the earth was radically rearranged by Noah’s Flood. All land animals and birds not in Noah’s Ark (along with many sea creatures) perished, many of which were subsequently buried in the Flood sediments. Therefore, creationists believe that the global, catastrophic Flood was responsible for most (but not all) of the rock layers and fossils (i.e. some rock layers and possibly some fossils were deposited before the Flood, while other layers and fossils were produced in postdiluvian localised catastrophic sedimentation events or processes)
