There is proof of evolution/no proof of creation

Evolution: "1. A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form." -Pro I have NO problem with this definition. Things certainly do change and grow. But where did this definition come from? This is the definition I have a problem with. "Life on Earth originated and then evolved from a universal common ancestorapproximately 3.8 billion years ago." http://en.wikipedia.org... In order for my opponent to win this debate he will have to prove that: 1. the earth is roughly 3.8 billion years old. 2. There is good evidence that ALL life originated from…what? a rock?, hydrogen?…nothingness? Let's deal with his arguments so far; A) "Evolution means evolving through time, taking something complex to change over a period of time." again I have No problem with this. The problem arises when you a.1) assume "billions" of years. a.2) "change" = one kind of animal slowly mutating into another kind of animal (which has never been observed). B) The Genesis creation accounts. The first account is when God created everything. The second account is when God formed animals and plants in the garden for Adam to name. I believe he did this in front of Adam to demonstrate his power. There is NO contradiction here. 3. There seems to be a disconnect in definitions here. I have no problem with things GROWING such as a fetus or a sunflower. However my opponent seems to be taking the word GROWING and then calling this EVOLUTION. If my opponent wants to just take the word "GROWING" and change it to "EVOLUTION" then I have no problem with his "EVOLUTION" The problem arises when he wants to say that animals mutate over "billions" of years into different animals. In which case he will have to prove that the earth is billions of years old and that there is good evidence to support this theory. He has done neither. EVIDENCE FOR CREATION The Universe The word "Universe" literally means, "One spoken word". The Bible clearly teaches throughout Genesis that God spoke, and it was so. The 6,000 year-old date of the Universe We believe that the clear teaching of the Bible, specifically Genesis Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3, teaches that: * The whole Universe was created on Day One of the Six days of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5). * The Hebrew words for "dusk" and "dawn" used in Genesis 1 are clearly referring to 24 hour periods of time, not millions of years (see below). * Adam was created on Day Six of the Six Days of Creation (Genesis 1:27). * Adam was "the son of God," not the son of a monkey (Luke 3:38). * Jesus Christ was born 77 generations after Adam, which is a period of approximately 4,000 years (Luke 3:23-38). * Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago. * Therefore Adam was born approximately 6,000 years ago. * Adam was born at the beginning of the Creation, according to Jesus Christ in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4. * The whole Universe was therefore also created approximately 6,000 years ago. http://www.freechristianteaching.org... Fossil formation at Noah's Flood The Bible informs us in Genesis 7:11-12, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of Heaven were opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights." - How could a dinosaur, mammoth, or anything else be preserved in rock, with their stomach contents preserved intact? - The only way to make a fossil is to preserve it instantly in hundreds of tons of rock. - For a whole dinosaur or mammoth to be preserved with stomach contents intact, it must have been preserved instantly, or the carcass would putrefy. - We believe that this happened at Noah's flood. - We believe that the only known event in the history of Planet Earth that could have caused fossils on such a grand scale was Noah's Flood. - We believe that, at the time of Noah's flood 4,400 years ago, as the crust of the earth was broken up humans, fish and animals were instantly buried under tons of rock and debris.

POLONIUM HALOS MAY BE OBSERVED IN SAMPLES OF SOLID ROCK FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD Polonium Halos could have formed only if the rapidly decaying Polonium atoms, and the Halos of radioactive particles around the atoms, had been instantly encased in solid rock, with the emission of radioactive particles preserved as Polonium Halos. These observable Polonium Halos provide undeniable evidence that the first created Polonium atoms were instantly preserved in solid granite, since the half life of Polonium is 3 minutes at most. POLONIUM HALOS PROVE CREATION Polonium Halos are found in granite samples all over the world, and may be viewed using a microscope. The occurrence of these Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over the world indicates that the Earth was formed in an extremely short time, in complete harmony with the Biblical record of Creation in Genesis Chapter 1. THE BIG BANG THEORY REFUTED If the Earth was originally a hot molten mass which took millions of years to cool down, the radioactive particles emitted by the rapidly decaying Polonium, and accompanying Polonium Halos, would disappear in the molten lava, in the same way as an effervescent tablet in a glass of water. The existence of Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over the world therefore completely disproves the Big Bang Theory. Read more: http://www.freechristianteaching.org... CONCLUSION "Evolution must be believed, not observed. It is a matter of faith, not science. Every created "kind" was to reproduce after its own kind and not to generate some new kind. This does not preclude "horizontal" variations within limits, but it does prohibit "vertical" variation from one kind to some higher kind (e.g. monkeys to men). Henry M Morris' "Science and the Bible"
