I’ve come from a mixed background concerning evolution having once believed that it was perhaps an integral part of the creation of Earth by God in the acclaimed six days, those days not necessarily having been six literal 24 hour days. Thus evolution I thought could have happened throughout that unspecified period of time. However as I’ve grown older (today) and looked deeper into this I’ve found that such an idea was glaringly impossible. More and more scientific evidence is bringing to light the flaws in Darwin’s evolution theory while at the same time increasingly validating the ‘intelligent design theory’. Since I am already a Christian (ooooohh) this just adds to my belief that God created the world in six 24 hour days and that our existence has nothing to do with ‘random mutations,’ ‘natural selection’ or any other relative.

With respect to evolution and those unfamiliar with it this article has a quick summary of the 6 different types of evolution. Along with the summary are explanations of many of the flaws in the arguments put forward by advocates of evolution. But you don’t need to read them unless you’re a masochist (look that one up). There is also another article that has a few interesting tidbits that may make you think – look at that human bone they found (Could giants really have existed back then? I think so). There is also a theory that explains why that bone is so big, how people grew that big in ancient times and why we don’t grow so big now. This site has the video –click "Semiar Part 2-The Garden of Eden" (note it is only a theory but hey evolution is just a theory as well and look where that went).

In light of my opinion here is a link (click "Debate #15 - Three Views: Who's Right?") to a debate between three professors and their respective views about evolution i.e.
1) It never happened and God created the world.
2) God and evolution go hand in hand (don’t ask me how though) and
3) God isn’t real, evolution is and we all evolved from rocks.
You decide what you believe but I think the last two are pretty cracked.

Carrying on from that debate this here is an article about dinosaurs (dragons?) and it pretty much blows gaping holes in the ‘million/billion years timeframes’ Darwin and co. had going.

In the meantime ‘Onwards to Intelligent Design!’ Clarification of one point though –Intelligent Design was not thought up by Christians as proof of God. It is a conclusion arrived at by many thousands of accredited scientists after having studied life on Earth and come to the conclusion that it is impossible for all of us to have evolved out of some primordial soup. We Christians simply take it as one more sign that God is real and he actually did create the Earth. Intelligent Design and Christian beliefs are actually separate but synonymous.

This link is to a rather intriguing series of essays. What happened is one person with one view wrote an essay, then another person with an opposite view wrote an essay to counter it. A third person who shared the first person’s view also wrote an essay to counter the second persons and so on. Such interchange I found quite interesting though I really don’t agree with some of the opinions given.

In diversion here, I found a really fascinating theory about how Noah’s flood happened (don’t deny it did happen as there’s too much proof it did). What you can argue is whether or not Noah did float around on top of it in his huge boat with all those flea-bitten animals (dragons?) and there is even a cool 2minute video to go with it (cooool).

Welcome back. For those of you who are interested in learning more about Intelligent Design or (dare I think you’re so bold) Creationism, these two sites (1, 2) have a lot of info and articles etc that I found really justified my belief in God’s Creation. Who knows maybe one of you will actually take a look (I promise it won’t make you grow warts. Really.).

In conclusion Evolution is a really flawed theory in my opinion (mine does matter) and I am totally convinced that Creationists have the right idea based on scientific observation ad infinitum (look it up). Fear not, I am open to other opinions on the matter (provided they agree with mine, lol) and thought I’d better give you some room in which to manoeuvre. You know where I stand. Alright, let the argument begin (cannon fodder line up here).
