Scientific evidence for Creationism

Creationism is the belief that the Creator created the universe and everything in it. This view has been held by religious people for several millennia, but in the past century especially, these beliefs - once thought to be fundamental to religion - have been spurned in favour of the modern theory of evolution. This has led to the emergence of theistic evolutionists and the formation of large, unified movements within atheism. However, scientific evidence for Creationism is often neglected and overlooked, while scientists claim holes in the theory of evolution will be filled as time goes along. For many decades, these ‘holes’ (‘missing links’) have not been filled and additionally, more gaps exist as more evidence comes to light. One such example lies in the exploration of space. A 20,000,000,000 lunar exploration program expected to produce the results necessary to establish the theory of evolution as fact, has not yielded the results that were first thought. No life has yet been found in outer space, a puzzlement for those who strongly advocated this based on the theory of evolution. Many discoveries are being brought to light which the theory of evolution did not predict and have yet to explain; these are used by Creationists to further their beliefs. Unlike most opinions regarding Creationists, they do not actually deny evolution, they deny organic/macro evolution - the theory that bacteria evolved in to man in a upwards chain of beneficial complexities supposedly taking millions of years.

• All scientific evidence proves that 'life comes only from life' (law of biogenesis).
