Besides that was an attempt at evidence against Evolution. Where is the evidence FOR creationism that you promised?

The reality of the creationism vs. evolutionism debate is that neither is a scientific law. Don’t you think scientists on either side have tried for years to attempt to conjure up evidence one way or another that would actually “solve” the debate and provide a definitive answer? At the end of the day, each requires a small leap of faith into something we do not know concretely, for sure. For example, a creationist would have to conclude that an omnipotent superbeing, (or what some of the religions would call God) whom they cannot see, created everything.

At the same time, evolutionists have to take the leap of faith that everything that exists today, in its natural order, all happened by chance. Yes species slowly evolving over time has been proven time and again (it is an ongoing process that still occurs) but where did the first form of life originate? Either it always was, meaning you still believe in something omnipotent, or it just magically came into existence by chance. All I need to do is look at the human brain and the literally billions of different functions it has been built to perform, how the sun is just the perfect distance from the Earth, and wonderfully functioning things like that, and what this debate really comes down to, is which is easier to believe: that there is an omnipresent being that created it all, or that all living matter as we know it happened completely by chance.

And that my friends is why I believe in intelligent design – as difficult as it can be to throw one’s belief behind a being that one has never seen and can’t concretely prove, it sure as hell beats the idea that all life and order in the universe today all happened by random chance (which of course is a paradox because randomness suggests chaos, not order).
