I used to share that EXACT sentiment. I understand where you are coming from. Just require the same burdon of proof for BOTH of the theories. There aren't any other viable options. Either someone or something made everything, or it happened on its own. Both ideas are ridiculous, one of them is just a lot more ridiculous than the other. Just examine the absurdities....

Everything, all the mass in the entire universe compressed itself into a dot.
Then it exploded and all of time, space, and matter appeared.
This explosion put things into perfect functioning order.
Then life appeared and began to transform from a single celled organism into more and more complex organisms.

Even if all of the pieces were present (which you would still have to explain where they came from) the process of an explosion creating order is absolutely ridiculous.

To put this into a simple context....
you take all of the parts needed to assemble a motorcycle, put them in a pile in your driveway.
use a stick of dynamite to cause an explosion. The motorcycle parts assemble themselves into a fully functional motorcycle.
Then without getting any new parts, the motorcycle begins to transform itself into a car. Absolutely amazing.....

Not to mention this motorcycle can fuel itself, repair itself, and reproduce itself.....

How many times would you have to repeat this experiment to get this explosion to create a perfectly functioning motorcycle? And only one minor error could ruin the whole thing. A living organism is at least a thousand times more complicated than a motorcycle. That is what you are believing with the "big bang" theory and evolution.

Creation simply says that because we observe an extremely complicated and well designed motorcycle we believe that someone had to have put alot of work into making it.




Actually this motorcycle example is heavily biased in favour of evolution.

To be completely fair the evolutionist would have to create the motorcycle components and the dynamite, plus the match, the driveway and the necessary atmospheric conditions out of completly nothing first of all before he could even begin to start the experiment proper.

Any scientist achieves this and hey I'll become a believer
