Evolution is a very solid theory with lots of evidence to support it. We have DNA evidence, the fossil record, micro-evolution, and macro-evolution to a certain extent. If creationists want their theory to be accepted in the scientific community, they need to give up at trying to refute evidence for evolution, because they are failing horribly, and they need to start searching for evidence of a creator. The entire creationists theory is based on the assumption that their is a creator and thus far, there is no evidence that such a being exists. Also, paintings, bananas, and peanut butter are not proof of a creator.

Well I guess none of the creationists took my advice, being that they all attacked the theory of evolution rather than searching for evidence of a creator. I tried.

Miller's experiment was a failure (Life is composed of 100% left-hand amino acids) , the transitional fossils are still missing, and there is no mechanism for the increase of genetic information.
I argue that the Christian God is the precondition of all human knowledge and experience, because of the impossibility of the contrary. Belief in the triune God of the Bible allows me to understand man's origin, logic, and ethics. The atheistic worldview is bankrupt and can not explain human experience and knowledge in any meaningful way.

If I understand your argument, you're saying that Creationism can only be seen as a competing theory if its supporters start treating it as a rival scientific theory and gather evidence for its claims, instead of just trying to tear down evolution.
I agree with the spirit of your post. I truly do. Those few Creationists who have tried/been trying to do so are, I believe, at least respectable in terms of their professional attitude. However, they are few, far between, and tend to work quietly, out of the ring.
However, the problem will arise in proving the existence of a god in scientific manner. God is usually implied to lie outside of the possibility of direct observation. Scientifically, this is usually a matter of waiting for the right technology to be developed to explore a line of pursuit. However, the very nature of the proposed entity suggests that he cannot be observed in principle, not merely in practice.
As long as this rule applies, any theory that requires the existence of god to have a causal effect will never be truly accepted as a scientific theory. It is not disprovable, and often does not make novel, testable predictions. Science studies the natural world, and does not speculate about supernatural causes or "ultimate why"s

Creationists love science and the community that exists around it. The fact is science would not exist without the natural order and the laws that govern it. Tell me where those laws come from?
There is order in the universe that evolutionists cannot explain and are showing signs of insecurity in that failure. Many reputable scientists are coming to conclusions of an order on the micro and macro universe that defy explanation except for some type of creation. They are finding that if just one element is missing the whole thing flies apart. Such as: the expansion of the universe, the temperature of the sun for its age, micro biological constructions and many more.

You are the one who really needs help if you believe in evolution. All DNA evidence points to a designer due to its complexity it can not possibly be an accident. The fossil record has not yeilded one, not one, zero, zip nada transitional forms proving that macro evolution has never happened . Micro evolution is a fact but it only proves the ability of one species to adapt to its enviornment . It does not prove that one species evolved into another species. Why should we give up refuting your evidence...? You have none!
The entire evolutionist theory is based on your faulty assumption that there is no God. There is very much evidence for God . You just cant see it because you dont want there to be a God so that you wont have to feel guity about your sin. No God = no accoutability. It is you who are in a sad state of affairs. But the good news is that you can change your mind and embrace the Creator/and his son Jesus. He is standing outside your door with his arms wide open for you despite the fact that you deny his existance. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.Revelation 3:20 CapnArlo

Oh no you don't. You can't slip evolution into Creationism that easily. Peanut Butter and Bananas don't prove evolution either and neither does those little wiggly microbe thingies. evolution is just a theory. Creationism is real. It is a proven fact something can not come from nothing. It was created by the Lord God then he sent his son and done some other things. Why is that so hard for you people to understand. Dinosaur bones was planted by the Devil to trick good Christians. Super girl came to Earth from the planet Krypton. Superman is just a fictional myth he did not evolve.

I would consider my views creationist to some extent. I don't believe everything was placed here on earth by a supreme being, as there is way to much evidence to refute that claim. Being knowledgeable in the area of superstring theory, quantum physics, and up-to-date on astrophysical research, I still don't see an answer to the 'chicken-or-the-egg' paradox. which leads me to believe, at this stage of scientific advancement, that something had to have started it all.
But really, ask this question again in about 1000 years, my views may have changed by then. Along with scientific theory. Respect, compassion, tolerance.

Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeezing one's eyes shut and wailing 'does not!'" Just a little help. It's amazing how many people really don't know what evolution is.

Haha fabulous - you even got the micro - evolution bit.
Wake up people, multiple drug resistant bacteria are real, they are infecting and killing people across the globe. They are the best example of modern evolution - caused by mankind's own hands.
It is irrefutable.

Wow Marcus, did you just say that mankind would have evolved into another species in just 30,000 years?
That's a heck of a lot more evolution than scientists believe.

Haha... maybe stop confounding their own arguement by claiming that T-Rex ate coconuts? Or go about looking for those "fossil rabbits in the Precambrian"
