Evolution is a theory (in the scientific, not common, sense of the word). ID is also a theory, albeit a lousy one. Biblical creation, on the other hand, is simply a myth...one which is part of a belief system, granted.
The “facts” of evolution are nothing more than man’s interpretation of the evidence.
What else should science use but evidence?
All we can do is examine evidence in the present of things that happened in the past.
When Hubble looks at a galaxy 8 billion light-years away, it's looking 8 billion years in the past. Are you skeptical of theories of galaxy formation and evolution as well?
I understand what evolution is. I also understand that the evidences for it are not there. Those who believe in it do so on faith.
You like quotes by supporters of creation so here is one for you by an evolution supporter.
‘We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.”
I didn’t say that there was a problem with EVIDENCE. The problem is that we all have BIAS and we INTERPRET that evidence through our own worldview. That is why two scientists can look at the same evidence and reach two different conclusions.
“Are you skeptical of theories of galaxy formation and evolution as well?”
You would have to ask a more specific question. If you are using the word evolution to mean change then you must understand that I believe that things evolve (change). I do NOT believe that we have common ancestors with the other animals. I believe in special creation. There is alot of adaptation and change within the animal kingdom but you lose me when you start talking about pond scum becoming people so to speak.
How do you know it's just a myth?
What's your evidence to support that contention?
