When you say creation science wouldn’t pass a “peer review,” I find myself asking, what peers? It would depend, wouldn’t it.
We either take God at His word or we don’t. That’s how I see it.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.” Psalm 19:1-2.
The Bible reminds us frequently that God made the world and everything in it, and his very creation reveals it constantly.
It takes an incredible leap of atheistic faith to look at the human eyeball, the continually burning and perfectly suspended sun, or the water cycle, and deny their perfect design by a perfect Designer.
It takes an equal if not much greater incredible leap of dogmatic driven ignorance to believe that all those perfections poofed instantly.
All creation does show his handiwork, but it doesn’t say all that handiworked happened instantaneously.
All change is proof of God, by the first mover theory, the theory of evolution does not disprove God, and only the incredibly ignorant and closed minded on both sides of the argument think it does.
