In my experience creationists cannot explain the evidence around us in the way that evolution can. [Spirituality & Religion]

Evolution theory consistently and cohesively accounts for the physical evidence we see around us.
Are there any creationists here who feel they can offer better explanations for the evidence from a creation standpoint?

LOL, Evolution is a colloquial term, the fact that you think it means so much is all the proof I need that it explains nothing.

@SpaceAce isn't it the proof that we evolved from apes?

@Celine i guess so, i always think they say hey, its a test. or you just have to believe in nothing. i have the same problem when i want to debate them and i have decent points they say well blind fate or start insulting me. or stop talking or run away while saying i'll go to hell :p

@Celine yeah but he made us so we can fail the test and he'll always love us unless we fail the test he made us to fail or able to fai, he made us be able to loose faith in him to see if we would have faith in him because 2000 years ago he came to earth.

yeah. it like at the start of the year he gives you one answer and the last year 3 years later he ask that answer and then you still have to know if its real or not.

i mean they say but jesus saved us in the past washing away our sin but if we don't believe its a sin and we go to hell. all i ask is send us a jesus about every 50 to 100 years that can do miracles that cannot be proven by science that would look like magic to us.
thats all i ask but they say no believe they guy from 2000 years ago who wrote a book thats somehow rewritten as well.

@Celine indeed. but he made us so we could fail it. i think he is a sadist. he likes toying with people its like an engineer would make a robot and if the robot fails he punishes the robot for it. while its the fault of the engineer

@Celine well they said we were created in his image so that means his almightiness and righteousness is just fake :p and he is just an all powerful douche bag

@Celine You say in my experience, then you use the word Evolution. Okay Evolution is a colloquial meaning it is a common use term and has a broad meaning in science. Evolution could refer to stellar evolution, since you are talking about the theory of evolution you talking about macro Evolution. Defining terms is always the first step in, and using meaningless terms tells me a whole lot of how meaningless an argument would be.

@SpaceAce we would think you'd know about what evolution we talk about and even the other ones you say are fake as well becasue they make no sense with a god in the picture.
why would he make a galaxy if we are only useful to him? why would he not be on other planets? doesn't it say in the bible we are at the centre of the universe? also bacteria evolving into creature way bigger and complexer woudn't be possible if it would be adam and eve being the first things on the planets, what about dinosaurs they were here long before we did.

also we see evolution, we have proof of it, there's an experiment with birds with taking birds from America or something and putting some on an island with enough worms and others with only berries. they evolved to better eat worms and the others berries, their mouth changed and they can't mate any more so uuhm yeah.

@Celine Yeah okay, I don't debate ever. It doesn't change people minds. Okay so this "debate" in Biological Evolution starts and end like they all do, you take microevolution and say see I have proven Abiogenisis. Again I probably confused you by using specific terms, trust me being anal about specific terms is in no way an attempt to impress you. I just hate when people use language so carelessly, also I have debated this for a long time. The point where I just quit was when it was demanded of me to be ultra specific in my terms but accepted science only needs to use common use terms. I really don't mean to be an ass, I'm sorry for my rudeness.

@SpaceAce Two things:
1. Context makes it clear what kind of evolution is being discussed.
2. "Okay so this "debate" in Biological Evolution starts and end like they all do, you take microevolution and say see I have proven Abiogenisis." I've never seen that done once, and I've done this song and dance a lot.

@SpaceAce [quote]I probably confused you by using specific terms[/quote]

On the contrary, you have misused several terms.

Evolution is not merely change, and change is not synonymous with evolution.
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection addresses changes in allele distribution and frequency within populations i.e. evolution.

[quote]you take microevolution and say see I have proven Abiogenisis[/quote]

The terms 'micro-evolution' and 'macro-evolution' are merely [i]a distinction without a difference.[/i] The only scale that applies is temporal... changes over a short time versus the same changes over a long time.

Abiogenesis is a completely different topic from evolution.
