IMO, the argument is not really about evolution versus creation but is at heart a debate about the existence of God. Once God is accepted, the method becomes moot. Once God is denied, creation becomes moot.
This argument, and all like it, usually ends in a cul-de-sac where you meet yourself coming back. By that I mean that the debate over God's existence cannot end in proof but only in choice. Proof would destroy God, by the traditional definition, so what is the point? That leaves you with choice and faith or choice and emptiness. Either way it is choice.
Debate and consideration is often the only way for many of us to get there. It was for me. Yet, in the end, you find the cul-de-sac and end up right back where you started - personal choice. I chose existence.

I agree. It is about the existence of God. I accepted God and evolution for a long time. But as I read more I can't accept evolution as an explanation for the development of life on Earth. I don't see it. And for every objection of the anti darwinwists all I see is the smear of "creationist".
