Interesting comments by all!!!

Hopefully mine can add to this...

In regards to Miles... Your statements saying the creation theory is based upon religious writings is a little off. You are lumping the "theory" with the "stories". Yes many believe in creation based upon the stories as told in the Bible or other theological writings. However the theory is the next best explanation when you eliminate the other possibilities. There are many who believe in creation that don't hold to any religious teaching. As Bilbo explained there is 0 evidence that evolution takes place. There are several meanings of the word "evolution" and the proponents of it will use evidence of adaptations within a species, and then say that this proves that the species can change to a different species. Virtually ALL of the physical laws of nature as we know them rule out the possibility of evolution. The very first law of thermodynamics is that "matter cannot be created nor destroyed" if that is the case where did the matter to create the universe come from?? It also states that although energy can change form, it is not now being created or destroyed. Countless experiments have verified this, and that natural processes cannot create energy.
Consequently, energy must have been created in the past by some agency or power outside and independent of the natural universe. If natural processes cannot produce the relatively simple inorganic portion of the universe, then it is even less likely that natural processes can explain the much more complex organic (living) portion.
