Creation vs Evolution

For a variety of reasons, I have recently been re-engaged in a study of creation and the scientific support that exists for it.  In a subsequent post or three, I'll get into some of the problems with the evolutionary theories, and how they are very selective in what they use as scientific support.  Also, we'll spend some time looking at some of the unproven assumptions behind the dating mechanism, etc.

In the mean time, I'm just going to list a number of websites that provide valuable information on Creation Science.  One of the coolest aspects of science is that it affirms the awesome power of God, as you look throughout nature and witness the wonders of both Earth and space.

• The Second Law of Thermodynamics
• Institute for Creation Research
• Creation Science Evangelism
• Creation vs Evolution: The Basics Explained
• Creation vs Evolution: Dr. Jobe Martin
• Issues with Some Dating Techniques

The evolutionary theory doesn't prove that D came from A, because it cannot.  All sorts of suppositions are interjected to get around the most basic of issues that the theory runs up against including the utter lack of transitional creatures across the full spectrum of life found on this planet.

Here are just a few of the questions you should ask yourself about the evolution theory:

• If creature A became B became C... became H because of natural selection, and this process took place over an incredible long period, how come we can't find any evidence of a fairly large number of B, C, D - G creatures in existence at any time?
  
• How could you ever find a fossil of one creature with a separate creature in its belly if the fossilization process can only occur over a long period of time?
  
• For creatures that allegedly made some transition from water to air, for example, if the process didn't happen overnight, how would any set of fishes change their fins to wings, and never have a period where these appendages were neither useful wings nor useful fins?
  
• How is it that with all of the possible variations that should reasonably occur if any particular creature could turn into any other creature as a response to the stimuli of its environment and living conditions, that within the families of any particular animal, all of the members continue to be so similar?   Wouldn't you expect huge variations of, say, elephants, as a result of them adjusting for survival of the fittest on an individual level over an immense period of time?
  
• How would a creature with a complex mechanism (which evolution insists was obtained in order to provide some essential benefit) have survived the immense amounts of time with this complex benefit in an incomplete state?  Example: Bombardier Beetle
  
• Why the need for the theory of Reticulate Evolution?

There are some who argue that creation was executed over an immense period of time, in order to justify the shaky dating mechanisms which are the foundation of evolution, but doing so simply undermines the Bible to a greater degree than outright rejection would.  The Bible is very clear that Creation of the planet occurred in six literal days, and if you stretch out the time period that you have a problem with the sun, moon and stars showing up in the middle of this vast period, with the vegetation showing up before that.

In any event, check through the links and ask yourself some very basic questions about what you have previously been taught and see for yourself if you're really relying on the scientific method for your beliefs, or just taking someone else's word and "proof".
