Creation Vs Evolution

Creationism 72805327   The definition of creationism is somewhat more complex. One   must start by saying that the belief in the creation of the universe   given at the beginning of the Bible is literally true. Creationism is   a belief based solely upon faith (which is a belief in and of itself).   There are no scientific facts as a basis for this belief, solely   conjectural theories and speculations.

The statement above, regarding creationism, suggests   that there was no beginning, only chaos. Subsequently this "creative   hand" structured the order of the universe out of chaos and applied   physical laws to that chaos so it would form itself into motion and   order. Yet, creationism as a whole does not touch base upon what came   before the chaos. While science admits that there was a time in which   different laws and order applied; creationism attempts to deny this   existence by saying that there was always something. For if there was   indeed a beginning and there was no God before this time, where did   God come from? We can scientifically prove that there was a beginning.   We cannot yet ascertain what was...
