Evolution is based on Data and Fact. Faith is just that, FAITH!!! It can not be proven. So, if you want to do SCIENCE, you can't do creation, despite what the bible-thumpers say. Here is your chance to give me hard EVIDENCE of what you arrogantly think some god did in 6000 years.
Remember, this is for Science, so give me Evidence. Don't give me god or jebus or anything based on faith.

The entropy argument is not valid at all. That refers to a single closed system, which is NOT evolution. And people's opinoins are invalid, I want Evidence!

Also, the number of people that are rejecting religious fanaticism and going with sound science is astronomical compared to the other senario. These 'converts' are not evidence, very rare, and probably crazy to start.

Here is my evolution thing, which does not directly answer your question but shows how faith is separate from evidence and no one can can prove creationism and god:
-
Every fossil, every observation in biology points to evolution. There is nothing that goes against it or points to a different way to scientifically explain modern diversity. There is not one fossil or one piece of DNA that does NOT point to evolution. It would be hard NOT to see the concrete evidence, and only those blinded by faith can do this.
Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.
There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.
This includes intelligent design (ID), which is veiled creationism. Yes, things are complex, but we, as scientists, do not throw up our hands at complexity and say, "oh well, god did it." No, that is what drives us to probe further and continue our work to understand more. ID only brings faith into science, which makes ID not science.
Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnant and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.
There are some areas of evolution in which all of the pieces have not been found in the fossil record, but there is no counter theory that has even ONE piece of evidence that can not easily be explained by evolution.
Let me turn the question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago. Again, that's why you need faith for religion, that is the leap you must make in order to believe and be accepted, that's why it is not 'easy' to be in a religion! Faith, more accurately blind faith, is required!
Go to a museum, take a class in biology/geology/science, go to reputable sites on the Internet like
AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution
or
http://www.talkorigins.org
and find out for yourself.

This is mostly what I call an argument of terminology. Keep in mind that when humans started talking about it nobody would have understood the term Billions. The 7 days thing made it sound wonderous. The highest numbers they knew were how many sheep Joe has. I think of Evolution as Creationism 101. Remember something caused us to be here. What that is I have no clue. Some call it God, some say it was spontaneous like the Big Bang. Another theory is what might be called Recurring Big Bang Theory, similar to what the Buddhists believe, that there never was a creation, that the universe has and always will be in existance. One friend of mine says to contemplate the phrase "Nothing is impossible" This has two meanings: one that in an infinite universe not only is everything possible, it's mandatory. Everything is possible. The other meaning is that it is impossible to have nothing. An infinite nothing would have an infinite vacuum and therefore an infinite source of "Potential Energy" Energy is matter so infinite energy equals infinite matter. I know you were loking for an absolute answer, but the heart of the matter is that nobody really knows for sure. People will always have differing viewpoints and the world would be better off if we all learn to accept these differences, without fighting over them. .

The word 'science' has been hijacked by atheists. They like to believe that they are the smartest people in the world because Charles Darwin, a man who mostly FAILED in science in school, came up with a delusion and said we could have grown from apes. Doesn't sound like science to me. Sounds like Pokemon. And atheists like to say that if you don't believe evolution happened then you are ignorant and close-minded. Only 16% of the population of the world believe evolution happened. So, are you calling 84%, more than THREE FOURTHS of the world close-minded and ignorant? Sounds pretty crazy if you ask me.

i'm no longer an expert in this. yet i ask your self approximately if this evolution element became taken way out of context. it somewhat is named thought of Evolution, no longer actuality of evolution. final time I regarded a thought is a few thing this is made up that supposedly could have surpassed off that way. i've got faith that the international became created via God. there is likewise a huge Bang thought. technology has desperate that the universe became created via an intelligence. regardless of you decide directly to call it, a postulation, a hypothesis, a hypothesis. A thought is basically undeniable previous fiction. to respond to your question, i've got not heard any information for evolution because of the fact it somewhat is fiction.

One cannot discount 100% of evolution anyway...
Portions of Evolution are undeniable fact.
One piece of evolution is the simple growth of everything.
Ie; a child grows, a plant grows... that is in fact part of evolution and creationism both.

Well, since everything that we know of was created during the Big Bang and no one knows why it happened, then we could say that it was the actual creation and everything else evolved from there.

well, science has noted that everything in the universe goes towards disorder and not higher order. another thing is that evolutionists are turning christian and not the other way around. science can not account for where everything came from, we have atoms an they had to come from somewhere so the law of conservation of energy has a small problem with where everythings very beginning came from. its good to see you are open to hear about things, that is very intelligent. because if what someone believes in is correct, it should be questioned and found correct still.

I just love you guys. Faith, is where it is. Do your own work, and you are right, we can not do creation. God did that. You might spend a few more hours learning to read and write.
