Creation vs. Evolution

What are Evolution and Creation? Well, here are some main differences. First, Evolution says that a big explosion of nonliving chemicals formed the universe, while Creationists say that the universe was created by a supernatural being. Evolutionists say that life is becoming more complex, while Creationists say that things are running down. Evolutionists also say that the world is old, while Creationists say that the world is young. The Evolutionists finally say that the process of Evolution is happening very slowly, while Creationists say that Evolution isn’t happening at all. Personally, I believe in the creation account because I believe that it fits better with the scientific and logical evidence. Here are several examples. Evolution says that our bodies are gaining information to evolve. One logical theory that disproves Evolution is Information Theory. Our DNA and genetic code make up the information in our bodies. Now compare that to a piece of blank paper. Say we put that blank paper in a safe. Do you think that 100 years later, without anyone opening the safe, we open it and there would be a note on the paper? Of course not! What if there was a note on the paper when we opened it? It would mean that someone got into the safe and wrote down some information. Information can’t make up or add to itself. Something else that Evolutionists say is that things are becoming more complex as they evolve. A scientific law that disproves this is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that all matter is deteriorating. Think about it. Cars rust; food rots; and our solar system is slowly winding down, but Evolution says that things are becoming better. So, obviously, these are in direct conflict with each other, but Evolution is a theory. So what do you think wins out: the law or the theory? The law will always win out. Another problem on the hands of Evolutionists is Convergent Evolution. There are several problems with the connection of living things in the evolutionary timeline. The human and the squid have almost completely identical eyes, yet Evolution says that they aren’t related at all. So our eyes developed two completely different times? How could that happen, but it is the same with the pouches of the Tasmanian wolf and the kangaroo. It is also the same with flight, but it developed four different times. Birds, Tyrannosaurs (flying dinosaurs), insects, and bats all learned to fly, yet they are not connected. What about the beginning of the universe? Well, Evolution says that there was a big bang that formed the universe, but there’s a problem with that theory. Where did all the material for the explosion come from? It must not have had a beginning, right? Which is easier to say? That there is an eternal God that made all things; or that all things are eternal? Another explanation of Evolutionists is about our galaxy. They say that our galaxy was once a huge spinning disc of space dust, and then it later lumped together into the sun, planets, and moons; but there is something wrong with this theory. First, space dust clouds always expand. Secondly, if it did lump together, why wouldn’t it lump together into one big ball? Lastly, if it did lump together, it would spin at the same rate in the same direction. For example, Uranus spins on its side. Shouldn’t it be spinning in the same direction as other planets? I think that this shows that the universe was created. Now what about the proof for creation? Well, the flood is the main thing that Creationists try to prove. Here’s some evidence for it. Almost every dinosaur fossil graveyard shows that they were made by flood waters. Also, there have been a couple of fossil sites found filled with creatures with no hard parts, which is almost impossible with Evolution, but with the world-wide flood model, it’s easily possible for that to occur. Another thing is that these sites have all the fossils, such as jellyfish, pointing in the same direction, showing that these were distributed by fast-flowing water currents. Now what about the theoretical model for the flood? Creation scientists believe that underwater volcanoes erupted, increasing the temperature of the oceans over 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This would cause enormous rain storms and hurricanes that would easily have let down torrents of rain for forty days, killing creatures, demolishing land, and reshaping the earth. These enormous hurricanes are called hypercanes. These hypercanes were so powerful that their wind speeds would have been over 440 mph. Creation scientists also believe that during the flood there were underwater earthquakes. These would have caused tsunamis, most likely with powers we have never seen before. Underwater studies have shown that these theories fit very well with science. Now, what do scientists from each side say about how life is and will continue? Well, regular Evolutionary scientists say that either nature is still evolving very slowly or that we have simply stopped evolving, but what is wrong with the belief that some creatures are still evolving? Evolution says that creatures are gaining information for the better, but what we see in, for example, cave fish is a loss of information. Creation scientists believe that these fish were once regular fish, but that they were brought to caves. As they continued to thrive in the caves, they lost their eyes because they didn’t need them. This is called adaptation. It’s when an animal changes according to the programming in their genes, but the thing about this, and a bigger type of change called variation, these processes can’t make or grow completely new, useful body parts. It may change the usefulness but not a completely “different specie’s” body parts. Now what about a non-regular Evolutionist? Well, they are called New Age Evolutionists. They believe that we are done evolving physically and are now just about to have sudden “spiritual evolution.” They also believe that the earth is alive, and that it is the being that’s guiding evolution. This is where we get the phrase “Mother Earth.” They think that, since the earth was around, it had to evolve living creatures to experience it.

As for Creationists, you know what they think, and I, of course agree with them. They believe that the world is deteriorating and getting worse. They think that human beings are becoming more and more sinful, and the rest I already explained in paragraph #3 (the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics). So I, and all young-earth Creationists, believe that the world was created by a single divine being, there was a world-wide flood that reshaped the earth, and that the world is slowly but surely becoming worse.
