They are both true

Evolution is a theory. It has many problems, and it is far from fact. There is a lot of direct evidence against it, such as the fact that one species has never been observed to mutate into another. This isn't a matter of not observing for enough generations either. A jar of bacteria can go through millions of generations in an observable amount of time, and guess what? Though the bacteria may have gone through some sort of 'natural selection' process, not only has the bacteria not changed into ants, it is still the same species of bacteria! A million human generations would take us back 20-25 million years, where we were supposedly just monkey-like things. Now which is easier to evolve, a single celled bacteria, or a monkey?
Creation fits in more with what we see in the universe, though it is just as hard to prove in a mathematical sense. But as the Apostle Paul said, "...what may be known about God is plain to men because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:19)
The thing about evolution is that even the people who say they believe in it don't really... otherwise why would they be so sad when a species goes extinct? Supposedly this has happened a billion times and we can just evolve new ones. Why would they be so upset when the earth's climate changes? Wouldn't that just be a good driving factor to evolve more creatures that are even cooler than the ones we have now? Why would nuclear war be bad, especially if it wiped out people, the earths 'biggest enemies', and gave the planet a fresh start for new species of cool, glow-in-the-dark bugs? Think about it.

There is no empirical evidence whatsoever to support creationism. There is only criticism of evolution. creationism never stands on it’s own. it is simply held by people who so firmly believe that the bible must hold absolutely accurate scientific data or their faith is in jeopardy.

Galileo’s claim the earth revolved around the sun was debated for years during his lifetime. But it was also becoming more and more accepted by the people, that’s what ultimately got him into trouble. The religious fanatics claimed his instruments were inaccurate, or his observations were mistaken, or his measurements or calculations were incorrect or his conclusions were invalid or that he was a godless infidel.

And here they are today doing the same thing with science that their fanatical forefathers did.

Science is always self correcting. Fundamentalist faith has a conflict of interest, because every fact must conform to some predefined written word of the bible, and any fact that does not, must be immediately and forcefully rejected for one of the above reasons.

It is a dishonesty so obvious that you must actually pretend not to see it.

Religion often(not always) breeds a blind conformity. Followers are told what to believe and so they are susceptible to simply following everything they’re told…

Evolution is the best explanation that we've come up with so far that does not involve magic. Science looks for explanations in the natural world. Creationists look at something for which they can find no other satisfactory explanation and simply state that it was made that way. This is not good enough for a scientist to accept. It's laziness to give up the search for a natural answer in favor of a supernatural one.

evolution is a theory. Creation is true- look @ the law of causality. Which states something that is created has a creator. The universe is limited, so why not think there is a creator?

Both. If you believe a higher being created everything then the process of evolution was created by that higher being. And if evolution is true, who/what "created" evolution, huh? Yes, I know, I know. There was just a "big bang!" and everything just, "poof!" appeared . . . riiiigggghhhtttt . . . If things just spontaneously combusted into being, then what or who created the elements that combusted . . . it's infinite, and there's got to be an answer of some higher being . . . we won't know 'til death & even then we may never know. Everytime someone says it happened this way, you can always just say, well then what or who created that process; it just keeps going.

The truth is whatever you make it. Evolution is a scientific fact whether you think it's true or not. I leave creation to you to decide whether or not it's true.

Both are based on belief and interpretation of the evidence. Neither can be proven using scientific methods therefore we are left with examining the evidence and concluding which makes more sense. Truthfully, evolution is sinking fast. It is a ship with multiple holes and the "rats" are abandoning ship. There was no conclusive evidence to support this hypothesis when Darwin penned his book, and there is no more today.

If by "evolution" you mean nothing generating into something without any impetus sometime in eternity past, then creation is a more reasonable alternative.

Evolution is true, creation is false.

Evolution is based on facts. Creationism is based on contradictory works of fiction.
