I, for one, am a Creationist. I find the theory that God, who has been here from the beggining, is still alive and will be forever, creating everything we see around us, to be far more likely than a fireball, which no one seems to be able to explain how it got there in the first place, randomly exploded, and somhow created the Universe, when the Second Law of Therodynamics states that all systems tend to, over time, become more chaotic and less orderly. I believe in evolution(lower case e) in which small changes occur over time, but not in Evolution(capitol e)In which:
1. All life developed from the primordial soup.
2. Man evolved from apes.
3. Fish>Amphibions>Reptiles>Mammals.
Evidence against Evolution:
1. The fossil record shows no transition fossils. Archaeopteryx, which Evolutionists say is a transitional fossil, is actually a Mosaic, or a creature God designed that is fully this, while showing ingenuity in God's creation by giving it features of other kinds of animals. A true Transition fossil sequence, which shows a secuence of fossils in order from primitive to complete with all stages inbetween, has never been found.
2. The "Geological Timescale" is never completly there in any place on Earth. It is only theorized by Geologists. There's always at least one layer that's missing, say the Devonian, or the Permian, or the Eocene. Also, somtimes, "Older" layers of rock are found on top of "Younger" layers. Trees have been found that burst through several rock layers, suggesting that the layers were deposited swiftly in unison, rather than millions of years.
3. If Evolution was real, then how come we, as Humans, are the only being that can truly comprehend Beauty? Evolutionists insist that the bad stuff about us---War, Gangs, and murder---come from our brutal animal ancestors. If's that so, then where did the good in us--- Beauty, our abilit to invent things, our ability to go against our instincts when we know that they're wrong--- come from? And if we are nothing more than unimportant things that arose from monkeys, then why do we care about this subject, or be on this board in the first place, or anything for that matter?
Evidence for Creation:
1. The Earth is situated just right for life to exist. Any bigger, no life. Any smaller, no life. Any farther, no life. any closer, no life. The fact that the Earth is just right for life to exist points to a Creator.
2. Many creatures are designed so perfectly for their environment, that if even one of their traits was altered in any way, they couldn't survive. The Termite is only able to digest wood because of small bacteria in its gut, which will die from Oxgen if placed outside the gut. How else can these 2 things exist together without a Creator to put the Bacteria in the Termite's gut? Woodpeckers are wonderfley designed for their job. They have a shock pad in their forhead, which helps the Woodpecker not get headaches. It also has its feet designed to clamp on the side of trees. Finally, its tongue, being as long as the Woodpecker,starts in the back of the head, wraps around the back of its skull before entering the left nostril and resting in the mouth. If even one of these things was changed just a tiny bit, the Woodpecker could not survive.
One argument that people use against Creation is that, "If God created everything perfectly, then why is the world full of death of suffering?" This question drove Darwin from Atheist to Evolutionist. The answer is that, when Adam sinned, sin entered the world. So too, did death and desiese. For more info, please read Genesis chapter3.
Also, Scientists have tried for decades to make Evolution happen. They have breed countless generations of fruitflys and Bacteria, yet never have they turned a Fly into somthing else or make Bacteria evolve into somthing higher. Any mutations that did occur always harmed them, never did they benefit them.
That's all I have to say on this.

All hail the glory that is Tenshi, the Sunkern!
