now, i heard rumblings in other threads that there is never any constructive debate between creationists and everyone else.
my assumption has been that there is no evidence for creationism, because all the arguments i have seen presented have been deconstructive.
so perhaps my assumption is wrong.
but before i issue my challenge, i want to make it clear that i am not out to shoot down good logic or act like the spoilt agnostics you get so often. i merely wish to play the devils advocate and see the other sides hand.
so, without this turning into a flame fest; i am open to, and would like to hear any evidence in favour of creationism. is there any?
however, i think a disclaimer is needed as some people don't understand what constitutes evidence, as points relating to the following are often presented as such.
evidence does not include reasons why evolution may be wrong, errors made by evolutionary scientists or other extraneous points. they are arguments against evolution, not for creation.
evidence does also not include proving one part of the bible true then extrapolating and claiming the entire bible is factual, that is false logic.
evidence certainly does not include the reasoning that absence of a satisfactory answer means creationism is true.
bibles quotes are not evidence in themselves, they are the hypothesis. the idea is to prove genesis using real world discoveries, not vice versa.
evidence is neutral, and is used to support a positive hypothesis.
