I'm not trying to say that there is no proof of evolution.

I find it hard to believe but no.
It won't prove anything in their favor.
Science is built on the scientific method. There will be another explanation grounded in science.

Interestingly enough if you check into exactly who Guatama Buddha was in his life time you will find that among other things he was a very well educated scientific thinker and observer .
He also wrote in Dharma-Parda:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded upon our thoughts. It is made up of our thoughts."
This concept is the most senior in relation to ANY materialistic theories.
Also if you really research what Darwin actually wrote about his research and theories you will find that even he was simply putting forward a possible theory and knew he did not have absolute proof.
He also had unanswered questions.
The other interesting point is that during Darwins lifetime the "genetic theory" boys and those with vested interests, (who paid them), were looking for a way to justify slavery of the blacks or ***** races and used his theories to degrade these people as "lower" on the "evolutionary" chain. i.e. closer to monkeys. (smaller brains....etc)
So his "theories" of man from monkey were broadly "supported" and promoted as scientific fact.
Darwin actually never proved this scientifically, it was speculation only.
If you are looking for spiritual answers in terms of material universe rationalization you are going down the wrong road no matter what "religion" you look into.
All religious philosophy, Messiahs (teachers, messengers) try to teach us the fact that mankind , life itself... is something more than the material universe.
The Bible , The Old Testament is a version of creation...... Whether it is correct or not is not the point. The fact of creation is the point.
Ask yourself this question ?
Can YOU create?
( a thought, idea, design, a song, a story, your life...........? )

Well, how would you go about proving that evolution is incorrect? There have already been thousands of complaints being made, even by scientists, that the theory of evolution is not based on the scientific method. But neither is creationism provable by the scientific method. Scientists and theologians can argue and debate until they're blue in the face, but in the end it all boils down to faith.
It takes faith to believe in evolution, with all its holes.
It takes faith to believe in creationism, and the existance of God.

Somebody needs to look up the scientific definition of theory.
Most of evolutionary theory is already proven. Theory is just a term for a model or decription. There are the theories of gravity, color, and numbers. And yet, those are rather hard to disprove.
More on the question: Well, probably.

The Bible never says "evolution did not happen" If God wanted to create Adam looking like and Ape then more power to him. I cannot speak for you but the Bible is truth and even though God never said, "I created the universe using the "big bang theory," it doesn't mean that it's not possible.

The Bible was correct long before the theory of evolution.

Imagine two children, one claims 2+2=3, the other one claims 2+2=5. Teacher says: 2+2 definitely isn't 5.
The second child is sad.
But it does not mean that 2+2=3 is correct.
Evolution, as I think, is real.
People who wrote the bible did not understand the nature and time properly, therefore their fairytale is not to be taken seriously.

Obviously not.
A good start to demonstrating biblical creationism would be to demonstrate the existence of a god. Without that, it's dead in the water, no matter how bad the alternatives.

Creation is correct,whether any of the "creationist "theories are correct is some thing different.
