Historical knowledge is rarely based on the use of the scientific method.

The scope of those questions is extremely large and could take a lifetime. First, religion doesn't and can't require scientific fact for it's validity. All religion is based on faith and choice. If there were undeniable fact that creationism was right, there would be no room for faith or choice. That is why we will never get to that point. However, to hit the high points, life on this earth is far to intricate to have happened by accident, also the fact that there has been NO repeat performance of creation of life is a statement in favor of creationism, not against it. After all creationism says God created, not man or other. Read Genesis, carefully, it clearly does not tell the whole story, only the part that we need to know. ie. Where did Cain's wife come from? and who are the OTHERS that Cain feared when he was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. When God causes things to happen he does so in a way (usually) that appears very natural to us. ie. Noah's flood. God didn't snap his fingers and there was water everywhere. He caused it to rain, a lot. There are many other examples. Good luck with your search. I hope you find what you need.

Thank you for not pre-answering your "simple" question. Traditionally, I find your questions to be "novels" with a question mark at the end of them. Before you get to the end, you usually like to dismiss the factual responses to avoid learning the truth about God and His creation of our earth and people.
Now, what scientific evidence do Creationists have to back up the hypotheis that God came out of the sky on Day 6 to created the human being out of the dust in the ground? ONly one. The Bible is a book of books that was written by several authors and journaled over the years, because cameras and video recorders were not invented to record these events.
So, with science not a consideration on Day 6, the theory of Creation is a factual event thanks to writing. These ideas were handed down in writing and in speech to generations down the line until tape recorders, cameras and printing presses were invented. I hope that you beleive some of the events in history really happened before cameras were invented. You couldn't hate the idea that God created all just because nobody photographed it? Could you?
Ok, since this is not an argument, but an answer to your question, that is why we don't have scientific evidence to God's creation. Do we really need science to build religion and faith, or can we just go by faith?
AS for when God will return, that is an unanswerable question. Nobody could know that answer. If you want to know in order to redeem yourself the day before judgement, in order to avoid perishing in hell....I suggest that you ask God for forgiveness today and give your life to serving Him wholeheartedly.
He knows if you've been bad or good....

Why are there still monkeys? Some stayed in the same environment and their descendants remained monkeys and some went to new places and had to adapt or die. A new diet would favor new teeth, for example. Our teeth are different from apes.
On the creationist side, there are over 100 steps (mostly proteins being produced) to clot blood and if any are missing the blood doesn't clot and we bleed to death. All creatures have this and none have a simpler version.
I'd love to see a good debate that doesn't involve one viewpoint bashing the other.

Well, where do you get that God came out of the sky?
Using your logic then evolution is scientifically valid. All we can prove is micro-evolution--change over time. No new species has been created. There is no real scientific evidence to back up evolution. It still takes a certain amount of faith to believe in it. Why have faith in what man says and not have faith in what God says?

Exactly. If this were scientifically possible, it would be possible to duplicate it - but it's not. Today we know the origin of life - the womb. But what about the first men and women? Where did they come? It's just like the age old question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" It simply boggles the mind (which is why Christians have developed such a simple and inexplicable reasoning for it).

Clearly..your basic premises are askew. One cannot "Learn" about a the"Theory-as Proof"; except to say those that believe do ..and those that don't also do. This notion of faith as a means to justify basic scientific claims has gotten way overboard..and needs to be reined back in.
Christians themselves cannot prove such a claim based on those particular examples...Apes vs. monkeys vs. Man..
One must go deeper..to the sub-atomic level for any REAL truths to be made aware of concerning "Intelligent Design".
If you study the chemical structure of..say, Insulin...or, Adrenalin...and then realize just how impossible such structures couldn't be accidentally conceived In nature..then perhaps you ll find your answers..
God is in the details my friend.........Details!!

I'm not about to try to explain the science behind creationism. My theology teacher actually did once. I just can't remember all the steps though. As for the evolution from monkeys theory, that is the most widely misunderstood theory around. The theory doesn't state that we evolved from monleys, but rather that we evolved from a SIMILAR ancestory as monkeys. We're more like distant cousins.

Has to be repeatable for science?
Let's not try to scientifically prove that the World Trade Center collapsed and killed thousands, okay?
But on a more "scientific" level, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that the more we interact with a system the more we are likely to interfere with it. So, by trying to force God to repeat something, we would be interfereing with Him and He may choose to do something different at that time.
It's really difficult to "scientifically prove or disprove" an event that a one-time happend historically. Such attempts would be considered "unscientific."

God did not "come out of the sky" to create anything. God spoke, and it came to pass.
The book of Genesis, is a great start for your database.
When Christ returns to earth, He will come with ten thousands of His Saints, to rule and reign in the New Jerusalem. There will be no new creation of life. All forms of life that will be "created" have been created, by the Creator.

It is hard to explain that God is the science behind creation to those who refuse to believe in God. God is beyond any human comprehension and that is why people have the sense of urgency to create a humanly logical explaination of things. Thats where I believe that evolutionism came about. It tends to prove itself wrong so much though. I am a Creationist and I am not trying to shove my beliefs down peoples throats but only trying to get them to comprehend the true essence of what I explain.
