The truth is those that believe in evolution are brainwashed.

The universe -- based on established scientific laws -- had to be created. The universe could not have created itself, that would violate the first law of thermodynamics. Spontaneous generation -- matter creating itself -- has never been observed.

Nor could the universe have always been here. The second law of thermodynamics indicates the entropy is increasing and the available energy in the universe is decreasing. The universe is going from order to disoder. Eventually, given enough time, everything in the universe will die. All scientific laws indicate that infinite life can not exist in the universe. Thus, the universe could not have always been here or all available energy would be consumed and everything in the universe would dead.

The universe could not have created itself and it could have always been here. That leads one to only one logical conclusion -- the universe had to be created by a supernatural creator. The intelligent design and complexity of the universe also indicates a Creator and not something that has occurred by random chance.

I can't add much to what's already been advised as to writings that help. C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" and Josh McDowell's "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" are helpful. All of Lewis's writings are superb. McDowell's are not nearly as good, but helpful.

However, on evolution, try "Darwin on Trial", by Johnson, a lawyer, who uses the evolutionists own writings to thoroughly debunk evolution and demonstrate that far from being established science, the theory of evolution requires either (1)belief in a higher power that guides dramatic jumps forward in the process, or (2) a leap of faith equal to the faith necessary to believe in the Genesis account of the re-creation of the Earth. And always keep in mind that Genesis is an account of the re-creation of the Earth after its destruction, not an account of its original creation. If you read the Old Testament closely, you will discover that the earth has been a long time battleground between heavenly forces, at least twice destroyed in the process.

In any event, nothing can prove God's existence to your friend more quickly than her fervent and sincere request to Him to prove Himself. Suggest to her that death is the most terrible event that a human faces, and if it is true that one man died and then rose again from death, and that witnesses wrote about this resurrection, and themselves were put to death rather than deny that resurrection, then it might behoove her, as a rational human being, to do everything in her power to investigate those accounts, and to give God, if He exists, the opportunity to prove Himself. This, He is perfectly willing to do to an open mind and a willing heart.
