It takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in an all powerful Creator.
The complete “geologic column” doesn’t exist in it’s entirety anywhere in the world.
There are literally millions of reasons why Darwin’s evolutionary theory is virtually or literally impossible.
The statistical probability (i.e., unlikelihood) of evolution occurring is staggering. Just one example is good enough for me: what are the odds that bees just happened to evolve at the exact same time as all the plant species that require their existence for pollination?
The same forces of “natural selection” that supposedly advance the process would kill any specimen that was in the process of attempting to evolve a new appendage or organ or whatever.
Even Darwin himself suggested a test for his theory that fails empirical evidence: the sudden appearance of new species.
It seems silly to me to believe in a God who can create life but is incapable of creating it in the literal way described in his word.
The fact that there hasn’t been a single evolutionary advancement in all of recorded history (no new species have appeared while many have become extinct) is another nail in Darwin’s theory’s coffin.
Thank-you for your astute comments that on one hand, throw evolutionary thinking down, while on the other defend the Genesis account. We need many more defenders.
Actually, evolution (well, natural selection) has been observed in living memory.

The Industrial Revolution in northern England created smog. Moths whose colors camouflaged them better, survived longer. Over time, the moth population became smoggy.
The color change was originally a mutation. If we hadn’t had smoggy Manchester, it might’ve been an evolutionary dead end.
So, perhaps God intervened, to steer the mutation. It certainly happened at a very convenient time for the moth.
Actually it doesn't. I believe that a Creator Who can design and make self-correcting and adapting organisms to be pretty impressive.
