Creationists and evolutionists, Christians and non-Christians all have the same evidence—the same facts. Think about it: we all have the same earth, the same fossil layers, the same animals and plants, the same stars—the facts are all the same.
The difference is in the way we all interpret the facts. And why do we interpret facts differently? Because we start with different presuppositions. These are things that are assumed to be true, without being able to prove them. These then become the basis for other conclusions. All reasoning is based on presuppositions (also called axioms). This becomes especially relevant when dealing with past events.
Past and present
We all exist in the present—and the facts all exist in the present. When one is trying to understand how the evidence came about (Where did the animals come from? How did the fossil layers form? etc.), what we are actually trying to do is to connect the past to the present.
However, if we weren’t there in the past to observe events, how can we know what happened so we can explain the present? It would be great to have a time machine so we could know for sure about past events.
Christians of course claim they do, in a sense, have a ‘time machine’. They have a book called the Bible which claims to be the Word of God who has always been there, and has revealed to us the major events of the past about which we need to know.
On the basis of these events (Creation, Fall, Flood, Babel, etc.), we have a set of presuppositions to build a way of thinking which enables us to interpret the evidence of the present.
Evolutionists have certain beliefs about the past/present that they presuppose, e.g. no God (or at least none who performed acts of special creation), so they build a different way of thinking to interpret the evidence of the present.
Thus, when Christians and non-Christians argue about the evidence, in reality they are arguing about their interpretations based on their presuppositions.
That’s why the argument often turns into something like:
‘Can’t you see what I’m talking about?’
‘No, I can’t. Don’t you see how wrong you are?’
‘No, I’m not wrong. It’s obvious that I’m right.’
‘No, it’s not obvious.’ And so on.
These two people are arguing about the same evidence, but they are looking at the evidence through different glasses.
It’s not until these two people recognize the argument is really about the presuppositions they have to start with, that they will begin to deal with the foundational reasons for their different beliefs. A person will not interpret the evidence differently until they put on a different set of glasses—which means to change one’s presuppositions.

Science says " big bang ". But where did that bang come from? What caused it to go boom? And what caused the material to be there in the first place? For something can't come from nothing.
But now read Genesis and read how YHWH (God) "spread out his arms and created the heavens and the earth".
Now think about that line....and think about the big bang. Are they not the same? Just with different words?
And if that doesn't click with you.....then explain the thousands of petrified trees that stand up through millions of layers of earth, all over the world. How can a tree be there? Only a flood can explain that. But to help "evolution" they leave out the fact of the trees they find all over the globe. For it goes against that very "theory".
THEORY of Evolution.
Define theory: abstract thought : SPECULATION

There's plenty of sensible evidence. I believe that the discovery this week of the chimps who hunt with a sharpened stick proves more than a history book.

Absolutely none-just pseudo scientific rhetoric as you will find out from the responses you get.

Who/What created the big bang? There had to be a cause, if you truly believe in science. And of this supposed collide of elements......where did they come from...what caused them? Science, alone, can not and does not explain our existence.

The only evidence is God and His Word, but you have to be enlightened to believe so I guess that leaves many out.
