On Evolution...

Thats the problem roby.. Its TOO "simple"

Creation is proof of only one thing, and that's proof of what got created.
That doesn't mean you can assign that creation to a "someone"..
The fact of the matter is that once the Big bang occurred, it wiped out a massive amount of evidence for what may have preceded it..
Now, people like to speculate that the cause for our universe was a "someONE" rather than a someTHING, because we like that idea.. But from an "evidence only" standpoint, we really have no way to know for certain what caused it all..

B I N G O !
So, it really boils down to what you CHOOSE to believe; IE how you interpret the afore-mentioned EVIDENCE.
The only real difference in a Christian belief & that of a non-Christian is, a Christian will state upfront that the word of God takes precedence over science.
I once read that some scientist back in the beginning of the train era stated that a person would suffocate if they moved over (40??) MPH. (Sounds utterly asinine today, but back then —)
Science is wonderful, but it’s not perfect, and is routinely up-dated.

This post puzzles me not a little. What is the evidence for the notion that creative evidence was destroyed in the "Big Bang"? In any case, it sounds like tergiversation, and you have not directly responded to my inquiry regarding your stance on creation.

Our universe contains matter-engergy-space-time, all created in the beginning. But there is also information, life, mind, spirit, not all of which lend themselves to scientific inquiry. A what would be woefully inadequate to account for these. Transcendance is a necessary reference even for scientific pursuit. Science is not its own basis. There must be a basic faith that science can be meaningfully pursued.
