Of the many incorrect statements you two have propped each other up with, my favorite is “neither evolution nor creation can be proven with science, since both are describing a one time event.”

Painful. This perhaps explains why some creationists conflate their creation myth with evolutionary theory; they think (for whatever reason) that evolution happened once many moons ago and that was that.

(And they also think scientific theories are “proven,” but that’s mere semantics.)

In saying as much, one quickly exposes himself as having absolutely no idea was one is arguing against.

Inherent behind your post is the logic fallacy of equivocation.

“we see ‘evolution’ today, so ‘evolution’ is true”

We’re not conflating evolutionary theory with creation.
You’re conflating adaptation with “molecules to man” “evolution”.

“And they also think scientific theories are “proven,” “
This would be a strawman - assigning a belief to your opponent and then beating the stuffing out of it.

Evolution did not happen at all.

I do know what I am arguing against. I am arguing against those that would try to discredit the Bible based on an unproven theory.

Creation happened, not evolution. Dogs make dogs, and regardless of the time allowed, dogs will not ‘evolve’ to birds.

The convoluted ‘faith’ required to believe in increasing complexity and life changing basic forms over time.
