Is the Bible True: Evolution vs. Creation

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
(Proverbs 3:19-20)

God tells us in Genesis (the creation story) and twice in Exodus (the giving of the law) that He created the universe in six days. That is six, twenty-four hour days. In Proverbs, quoted above, God tells us that He intelligently designed His creation.

Belief in creation (and a Creator) and belief in evolution (and random chance as the creating force) are both just that, a belief. Do you believe the God of the Bible, that His words are true? Or do you believe the scientists; men who claim to be open minded (to everything except a Creator)?

If you think that being a "Theistic Evolutionist" is the way to go, please reconsider. The theistic evolutionist believes that God started the evolutionary process, and perhaps may believe that God occasionally guided it. This belief does answer one of the failings of evolution; there is no "reason" the Big Bang explosion should have ignited. Still, the god proposed by the theistic evolutionist is far different than the God who breathed the Bible. The god of the theistic evolutionist is disconnected, distant, error-prone, and of limited power. In His Word, God tells us that He is ever present, lovingly concerned, all knowing, and all powerful. Let me link a site that better explains this, The Living Word.

It is impossible to prove evolution a scientific fact because, as God put the question to Job, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you have understanding." The scientific method requires as it's first step, observation.

As a theory, evolution also fails the test; there are no transistional creatures alive today, nor do any exist in the "fossil record"! For evolution to hold water as a theory, there should be observable instances of creatures evolving, there should be examples of life coming from unlife, and there should be examples of order coming from disorder. None of this exists.

So far, both under the intelligent design of scientists and natural occurrences, the closest thing to evolution that has been achieved or observed has been the altering of a species into another version of the same species! This is called "micro-evolution" and is actually part of God's design. For all the variations we have has humans, we are all still humans. All the differences between the different breeds of dogs, they are all still dogs... No mater how many weird variations of the fruit fly scientists breed, they are all still fruit flies. No transistional creatures here, everything was made after its kind. Further,

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
(1 Corinthians 15:39)

as is being proven by microbiology and genetics. A better article (and discussion) on all this is linked here.

As for evidence of creation, look around you (Psalm 19:1-4).
