Creation is far more plausible.
Although the Bible is not primarily a story defining "how" things happened, it does focus on "why" they happened. Nevertheless, Genesis describes how God created to a certain degree. It is very incompatible with existing evolution and Big Bang concepts. Here are a few differences:
1) Moses used the numerical adjective for a 24 hour solar day when he described the days of Creation; which, when used elsewhere in the Old Testament, the word strictly meant 24 hours.
2) The plantlife was created before the sun. Had the "days" been eons, plantlife would not have likely survived.
3) The birds were created before land animals.
4) God was completely in control of Creation, there is no chance element involved.
5) God specifically directed one kind to reproduce its own kind. No where does one kind beget another.
Even seculular scientists agree in the pre-Cambrian Explosion, where in a very short period of time, all life kinds emerged on earth. Since then, there have been no new kinds detected. Then there is an issue of "irreducible complexity." For example, our cells have internal structures where more than one independent element relies on two or more anothers to sustain life. That means they all must have developed at the same time and directed to work together for life. These facts do not favor the random chance events of evolution.
Anyway...before the Flood the world was a very different place. During Creation God separated the waters above from the waters below. The waters above likely encapsulated the earth as in a giant ice sphere. The net effect was a greenhouse effect, allowing lush tropical plants and life to flourish from pole to pole. We are still finding evidence of tropical vegetation from caves in Illinois (2007) and higher. Such conditions produced a far greater percentage of oxygen in our atmosphere than today. This supported long lives, fast healing rates, and would play havoc on Carbon-14 dating if it were taken into account. When the water came down, the earth was flooded. The waters ultimately created/enlarged the existing oceans. The vast amounts of buried organic matter under tons of silt and dirt and pressure was sufficient to create our vast oil reserves today from Alaska to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. There is not enough life on earth today to generate the same oil reserves, if we were to be similarly Flooded. The partial pressure of oxygen in our atmosphere has been recorded since the 1800's, and shown to be continuing its decline.
Rather than go in to great detail, I suggest you Google "creation science" and see what many intelligent people have written on the subject. Unfortunately, many are prohibited by our interpretation of the Constitution from ever being taught these theories in public schools. There is alot of doctorate level research papers still being written on the science of the Flood and how the earth has changed.
By the way...creation science does support - along with scientific evidence - in adaption (changes) within a species, but not one species changing into another.

I have reason in Science and in nature that cause me to see evolution as a weak science at best if not just junk science and a plain lie. The fist is the discovery that all Proteins and DNA must have the same chirality in order to hold the string together. Since when produced in the way you contend they are a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers it becomes clear that random chance process could have never formed these proteins and DNA with their unique chirality.
Chirality is not just a major problem for evolution; it is a dilemma. According to evolution, natural processes must explain everything over long periods of time. However, the process that forms chirality cannot be explained by natural science in any amount of time.Then there isn't enough time for the small rodent like mammals left after the last extinguishing event to bring them to the size and variety of the mammals the roamed the earth during the last major ice age. And viruses have been known to man for approximately the last 200 years. During that time there have been billions of generations, yet never has a virus jumped species. Yes the have varied but they remain viruses.. IHS Jim

IMHO:
When I think of how complex the human body is--or for that matter, a plant, or an animal--I just cannot get my mind around the happenstances of evolution. To think that two cells just happen to bump into each other and then they just happened to change into something else over and over until--Voila! we had a creature? Doesn't make sense to me.
There is also the point that in evolution the fittest survive. The unfit die. If man came from apes then why do we still have apes?
Some of my ancestors may have hung by their necks, but no a one of them hung by their necks!

I believe in an Intelligent Designer who may have used the process of evolution to create life forms on earth.

Because evolution is not a fact. It’s a hypothesis that has never been proved. Evolution is not a science. Evolution defies mathematical probability. Evolution defies laws of physics (second law of thermodynamics.)

I have my own religion, but at the same time, I believe in evolutions. I do not believe that men and woman was sent to earth from heaven.
No of fence to anyone but we have proof that life on earth started with single cell organism. If we men are sent from heaven, that means we're intruders as life exist on earth before human ever walked on it.

I personally believe in creation because I've made the decision to be a Christian, and the Bible is where I find my answers.
Also, the theory of evolution was the weak fall and the strong survive. If the purpose was to change to better, stronger creatures, why then have we stopped evolving? Have we reached the peak?

Because how can this whole world happen by chance with no creator?
Also,I SEE the opposite of evolution happen in reality--things FALL apart.2 Law of thermodynamics.
