Everyone sees the same things.

I would be willing to bet that your "everyone" are on the evol side and "everyone else" is on the other side. The fact that you say you have no world view on this debate is very telling indeed.

You're new to these threads. Permit me to give you a very few links from the famous "list-o-links" (so the creationists don't get to start each new thread from ground zero).

15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense. From Scientific American
Arguments we think creationists should NOT use from Answers in Genesis.
300 Creationist Lies.
Site that debunks virtually all of creationism's fallacies. Excellent resource.
Creation "Science" Debunked.

The foregoing is just a tiny sample. So that everyone will have access to the accumulated Creationism vs. Evolution threads which have previously appeared on FreeRepublic, plus links to hundreds of sites with a vast amount of information on this topic, here's Junior's massive work, available for all to review:
The Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource [ver 21].

Nope. Everyone sees the same evidence. They see the same fossil record, the same geological formations, the same radioactive decay. Whereas the evo side has scientific theories to explain this evidence, the creationists have to resort to ignoring it or claiming it's a fraud. They have nothing to offer as an explanation that takes into account all the evidence; rather they nit pick bits and pieces here and there, never seeing the forest for the trees.

For example, we know that some organisms have existed at different times than other organisms but that they appear to be related structurally to those earlier organisms. From this we can conclude that the later organisms are related to, and possibly descended from the earlier ones. The only other explanation is that the earlier organisms died out and the later ones popped into existence afterward. Neither science nor the Bible support this view, yet that is what creationists have to believe. Of course, they won't tell you this -- it is pert near impossible to get a creationist to actually tell you what it is he believes. Note the ongoing discussions between balrog666 and Boiler Plate if you need an illustration.
