Evolutionists use the geologic column and fossils.
What do Creationist use, other than the Bible?

well, there's this site that "proves" that Genesis is true. I don't believe it myself, but it still answers questions about what people believe.

modern quantum physics is actually supporting the six-day creation, and the notion that the earth's age is actually closer to what the bible says...so...millions of years that evolution needs to develop aren't there.
think about the eye. it's no good if all you have is an eyeball, yet lack an optic nerve to transmit the light as an electric signal, or an occipital cortex to interpret the electric pulses back into a picture.
so how could the eye have evolved? suppose some primordial worm starts getting two black dots on its head that will eventually turn into eyes. suppose they eventually turn into eyes. he still can't see. this is not a viable mutation as it has no possible survival value or advantage over the other plain ol' worms. an eye is no good unless every other part of the visual system is already intact.
so a gradual evolving a pair of eyes won't work, since it will hinder the creature's survival before it will actually help it out. the only way natural selection favours evolutionary andvancements is through ''hopeful monsters.'' a lizard hatching a bird, a worm with no eyes giving rise to one with eyes in a single generation.
and that's another thing. what if a lizard tried to grow longer and longer scales in hopes that they'd one day become feathers? well, there comes a point where this lizard has half feather/scales, on some rather cumbersome, yet extremely fragile wing-like ''hands,'' which it can no longer use for running from predators, yet, it still cannot fly. natural selection would quickly weed out such a transitional creature.
and that's another thing...where are all these transitional fossils that had to be here? since evolution took place over millions and millions of years, right? (the earth's age is actually closer to what the bible says, anyway, as the speed of light is slowing down, and used to be much much faster in the past, according to modern quantum physics and other considerations, [see sources] so radioactive decay used to be much faster in the past, making radio-carbon dating yeild ages far too old)....there actually wasn't even enough time for things to evolve. the only way evolution could've happened was by hopeful monsters.
what about the peppered moth, mike? what about it? there's a variation in the species. what about red heads and brunettes? ;-) okay, what about the tiny 18 inch tall horses in fossil records? well, modern, wild brown horses can be selectively bred to get tiny little horses like that. yes, it takes about 80 years, but it can be done. (evolutionists tend to call this ''micro-evolution'' just to get a foothold ;-) ) what's more, regular house cats have been successfully bred with lions to produce ''medium sized'' cats. this only shows that there is a wide variance in the species, but it's still one kind. evolution states that one species will change so much over a period of time that it cannot breed with other species that have branched off in different directions.

the only place the geologic column exist in the textbook. want more proof go to www.drdino.com. this guy is an awesome AWESOME creationist with so much info it will make your head spin. you can watch all his videos online or buy them really cheap. he also has done hundreds of debates and left remarkable results. also has a million dollar bet is you can prove one speck of evolution.

You can't get something from nothing.
like the big bang, what happen to cause the big bang?
With out divine creation all you have to rely on is that your an accident.
I know I'm not an accident, how about you.

Here is a link to a former atheists site who is a scientist that set out to disprove God but then became a Christian. I used to be an atheist as well but it was prayer that got me talking to God, not scientific facts.

The Bible and math that they get out of the Bible.
