Evolution vs. Creation

In this debate, he, Con, will be arguing the point that Creation is a true claim. I, Pro, will be arguing the point that evolution is a true claim and Creation is not. Arguments My opponent is denying evolution. My opponent is denying a fact. My opponent is denying the fact of evolution and believing in Creation. Evolution is a proven scientific fact. It has been proven in every way possible. It's testable. It's repeatable. It's a fact with genuinely viable proof to back it up. Because my opponent does not deduce this, I am obligated to show him the list: 1. Behavior is a genetic trait that is passed on from generation to generation. Our ape ancestors share many of the traits we have today, owing to the fact that modern hominids, such as chimpanzees, have the same traits.2. The fossil record, which allows for DNA testing and comparison between species, gives us solid proof. For example, we know humans, whales, bats, mice, etc. are all decedents one particular creature because we all share the same formations within the arm, which include the humerus, radius, and ulna. Furthermore, humans and whales share certain bone structures that we need but whales to not. 3. Again, genetics is the foundation of proof, for it proves, with 99.9% certainty, that Homo sapiens have evolved over an extensive period of time.4. Vestigial and homologous structures, are again, backed up by DNA.5. Protein sequencing is very similar across certain animals alive today. 6. Natural selection is, again, proven. It works because certain genetic mutations occur. "Observed mutations have occurred by mobile introns, gene duplications, recombination, transpositions, retroviral insertions (horizontal gene transfer), base substitutions, base deletions, base insertions, and chromosomal rearrangements. "7. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics show us that bacteria that were once killed by antibiotics can suddenly survive it. This shows that bacteria are evolving to suit their environments. This is a proven fact that we have tested in a lab. How can my opponent deny the years of research, hard work, and studying that has led to the discovery of the revolutionary fact of evolution? It is a fact. It has been proven. Evolution simply cannot be denied. It would be like not believing that the Earth is round, even though it has proven beyond doubt. Of course, this debate is not simply about proving evolution correct, but about proving Creation wrong. As I have done this before, I can do it again. "God created man in his own image. "Evolution proves this wrong, doesn't it? "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light. "Humans are made mostly of carbon atoms. This, like evolution, is a fact that we have proven time and time again. We also know that carbon atoms, as well as all the atoms that make up this planet, are only formed within the intense head within a star. So how could God have created Earth before He created light? He couldn't, because the atoms needed for the Earth to form had to be created inside stars, which emit light. "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them. "Obviously, God wants us to kill gays. Objective morality may be false, but I think that is pretty wrong. According to Creation, the Earth was created in six days. Actually, according to scientific fact, it was created over a period of millions of years. According to the story of Noah's Ark, two of every creature on Earth went on the Arc. This is sad fur these reasons: 1. There was no way to keep bacteria alive on a boat for 50 days2. Dinosaurs could not fit on the boat, nor could they resist the temptation to devour the other creatures on the ark.3. Why are there million year-old trees if there were a flood 4,000 years ago? Conclusion I have now given my argument to why evolution is correct and Creation is wrong. I look forward to my opponent's reasoning.
