By suggestion, I'll post this discussion about the evidence that supports creation.
1) Asexual/Bisexual reproduction. Evolution claims that our ancestors were all once-celled creatures. These reproduced by asexual reproduction. So, somewhere, it had to switch from asexual to bisexual. Two things are possible: a) this did happen within one generation (highly unlikely, due to the usual slow evolution usually taught), or b) both sides of the bisexual reproducing organisms were created at the same time.
2) Galaxies. The centripetal force of the spinning galaxies would rip them apart within 10,000 years. Although astronomers have given galaxies the mysterious 'Dark Matter' to account for their lack of gravity, nobody's ever seen this substance. It seems that if 70% of the universe were dark matter, we'd have found some of it by now. Logically, if 70% of our universe were dark matter, there should be some in our solar system. We'd have detected it, it seems, by now.
3) Snakes and humans. If evolution were correct, then reptiles would be genetically closer to other reptiles than, say, birds. However, when tested, snakes turned out to be closer to humans than any other. So did snakes evolve from some mammal? Or was everything created at the same time with roughly the same code.
4) (This is my idea) Life. Simply put, the basis of life is amino acids. However, that's the basis for CARBON-BASED life forms. If life was a random even, who said that it had to be carbon-based. The only life we know is carbon-based, so we think that that's the only thing that can be alive. However, if life was random, it might be centered around some other element, like iron, or oxygen, or radon, or lead, or something. It would seem that life could appear anywhere, in any atmosphere, with any gravity, with any heat. We haven't found anything but carbon-based life, though. It would also seem that there would be some other life on earth not based on carbon, but there isn't. So, either only carbon-based life was created on earth, or earth could only support carbon-based life or carbon-based life prevailed.
Please expand on these, or argue with them.
