There are some who believe in the literal meaning in Genesis that God created it all in six days. Thats ok. Its not something worth dividing over but perhaps worthy of vigorous debate. Astrophysicists and cosmologists have come to believe that the universe had a beginning and things are lining up more and more every day with the claims of the theists. Darwnian naturalists that are not of academia or students of academia are growing fewer in number as the discoveries of the universe give reasons why a steady state universe neccessary for evolution is virtually impossible.
What this does is destroy the premise of evolutionary theory due to the fact that the mathematical probability neccessary for naturalistic origins vanishes with the accepted age of the universe. Scientist place the age between 7.8 billion to 15 billion years. Evolution requires at least a trillion x a trillion 43 times. Thats before consciousness. What mechanism causes consciousness then in naturalistic theory?

There is no mechanism that can give rise to consciousness. And without consciousness, all of creation is meaningless, because even if it were 100 trillion times more vast and sophisticated and beautiful than it is, and no one was there to observe it, it would be meaningless.
Consciousness is the gift of a Creator God, who made us after His image and after His likeness.

What a load of crapola. Nobody even claims that they know how exactly life started. Without knowing that how the heck can you calculate your probability? According to you the probability of water freezing and forming ice would also be zero. I mean what are the chances that all those molecules will end up in their exact positions to form an ice crystal??? It must be magic!
