Where did Science come form? It was invented by creationists/Christians. Most of the founding scientists were Christians. Most discoveries were made by Christians.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Most scientists are also right-handed. But did Christianity or right-handedness directly influence the scientific method? Probably not. Christianity, like all religions, is predicated on faith, whereas the scientific method is based on observation and empirical evidence. Faith and science are very different processes, even though they can co-exist in the same individual.

I am a Christian, but do not accept Bishop Ussher's time line. I don't think we can know the true age of the earth, though we can certainly speculate on methodology and speculations can be corrected, when disproved. BUT, they all begin with suppositions.

A person can believe in God, and believe in gravity. He can believe in physics. I hit a wall with my bicycle, when I was 10, and learned a lot about both.

We can study the heavens and predict how to aim a spaceship will reach the outer reaches of our known solar system, while passing all of the known planets.

As a believer in a Creator, I can't find anything which directs how things BEGAN within the alleged science of "Darwinian Evolution". It assumes a primordial swamp, but offers no source. It acknowledges similarities in creatures and assumes facts, not in evidence. Something bothers me about this.

What is different between a religion, and a philosophy? If Evolutionists don't have faith, what supports their thesis? The standard answer is "we don't concern ourselves with how it began...", and try to go on with their charades.
