Creationism is a matter of pure faith. Evolution is a Theory created by the scientific process.

Note: Science does NOT determine Truth: you want Truth, seek it in the Philosophy or Theology departments. Science is the process of making MODELS of reality with as close of a match to reality as we can make it, with the end result being a model we can use to predict outcomes and do consistent engineering with. In the case of Evolution, it has been observed, in the micro sense, in the field and in the laboratory. That has been extrapolated, at a lesser degree of accuracy, to macro-level evolution, with support from the fossil record, geochemistry / geophysics, and the observed fact of microevolution.

Now, it could well be that the Lord God did in fact create the world in 6642BC, as Bishop Ussher had calculated, with a set of rules and evidence already in place supporting not just the theory of Evolution, but those of Astrophysics, Cosmology, and of the basic Physics of our Universe as we know it.

Or, he could have set it up from the beginning to happen in such a way that the Universe grew from the Big Bang (gee, that sounds AWFULLY like "let there be light", the formations of galaxies, suns, and planets from chaotic gas clouds, and the appearance and development of life and of man.) to our present situation. Heck, the order even matches that of Genesis. Strange coincidence, don't you think???

It really doesn't matter. But the latter premise makes me FAR more in awe of the power and majesty of God than the "poof, there it is" premise. . . .

Check out http://www.answersingenesis.org . Hen Ham and the other speakers at AIG are FANTASTIC! Ken Ham and his AIG DVDs have made a "6 day" believer out of me!

Ham is VERY convincing! He uses things we take for granted, e.g. so-called "millions of year old" rock formations, to make his case. Watch out, though, he may convince you or someone you know.
