Look, you can say God made the rules and made Evolution, if that makes you feel better. No one's figured out how everything was originally created, but there are scientific facts, and Evolution is one of them.
Science does not seek to dispute the existence of God. It only seeks to figure out how things work. If you want to say that God made the universe, that's OK, since science isn't trying to do that, as there's no evidence pointing to it, and there might never be.
Most scientists are behind the science of Evolution, and most of those scientists are religious people. The two do NOT conflict. You can be a devout Christian AND support Evolution. Darwin did, as he was a Christian.
If you want to say that God made DNA, then knock yourself out! Scientists are trying to figure out how it all works, not how it came into existence in the first place. There are no theories that would hold water, in that regard.
Science seeks to understand how the universe works, not what our place is in it. Any science that tries to disprove God, isn't science. You could not find evidence to support such a hypothesis. That's the realm of philosophy, where science dare not tread.
Do you understand?
I understand that Darwin and modern evolutionists went too far. They should have stopped with changes within species. There are big dogs and little dogs because of breeding. But a dog does not evolve into a cat or horse, nor does a monkey evolve into a man. Man was created by God.
The Genesis account of creation is the simplest to me. Children can easily understand it. To understand the theory of evolution one has to be taught it for years and it is still too complex for them to understand after a college education.
The Genesis account of creation explains that all life forms reproduce after their own kind. That means you can count on a dog reproducing dogs and not cats or some other animal. That is the explanation of why humans always reproduce humans and not monkeys.
The worldwide flood of Genesis is the simple explanation of why some sea animal fossils are found on mountains and why fossils of dead animals are found buried under sedimentary layers over the earth.
Yes, you could say that the Genesis account of creation includes micro-evolution (changes within a kind of creature) but it disputes the idea that this continued for billions of year to include macro-evolution (changes from one kind of creature to others). In fact, even modern science has yet to prove a creature has changed from one kind to another kind. The idea of lining of fossils up in a certain order proves only those are fossils from different dead creatures.
The Genesis account of creation also explains that God created time and the seasons of the year and made the relation between the sun, moon, and earth as a time piece for all times. We made other ways of telling time by using the things God created. For example the sundial, hour glass, watches, and clocks, crystal time pieces, etc. So man was created in the image of God so we have the ability to create and make things too. HalleluYah.
I do not dismiss the science that produced radio, television, computers, microwave ovens, automobiles, airplanes, guns, atomic bomb, or nuclear power plants to provide electricity. Many men of science do not agree with evolution because
evolution is a stupid theory and like a fairy tale in which a frog can turn into a prince by adding enough time. Ridiculous.
