Creation vs. Evolution

I agree with you. But I submit to you that Evolutionary theory is ALSO based on faith, and that it may be wrong, just as Creationism may be wrong. What I'm doing here is trying to present both sides of the argument, using science as much as possible. I'm not trying to prove either side right or wrong, I'm examining the arguments.

If people are going to try to use the bible as evidence of creation, then I feel it's fair to say that it's not evidence at all, because the whole thing is BS. It's based on faith, not fact.

I believe that the bible is a historical book, with portions to be taken literally, as historical fact, as well as story book, with sections that are, well, allegorical.

Note: Historically speaking, many parts of the bible have been proven by corrobberations from other writers of the time as being true statements of fact.

The Bible has just as much "evidence" as the fossil record, or carbon-14 dating, two ideas I WILL be exploring.

But for the sake of the argument, let's agree that the Bible will be the Creationist's primary "evidence", and I'll try to find supportive "science", and we'll examine Evolutionist's "evidence" and find supportive science. That's fair, right?
