Q: Don’t evolutionists have different “evidence” than creationists have?

A: No. Think about these questions:

* Do creationists and evolutionists have the same animals?
* Do creationists and evolutionists have the same fossil record?
* So do they have the same earth?
* So do creationists and evolutionists have the same facts/evidence?

The battle between creation and evolution is not about facts—the facts are the same.

The real difference is how one interprets the facts in relation to the past. This is all determined by one’s beliefs to start with. A creationist starts with the belief that the Bible’s history is true and interprets the evidence on this basis. An evolutionist starts with the belief that most, if not all, things can be explained without God, and interprets the same facts differently.

But only the biblical basis makes consistent sense of the facts … and fits directly with real observational science.

"But only the biblical basis makes consistent sense of the facts..."

Really?

The whole Ark/Flood thing makes sense to you? All the animals of the world trekking to the desert (Penguins, Dinosaurs, Moose, Bears, etc.) and then jamming together in a boat for a year makes sense to you? A 6,000 year old world makes sense to you?

You sure have an odd sense of, well, sense.
