Re: Evolution
Well, let me see. This is a long and involved argument with a lot of heated, personal name calling on many sides - and that's just by the experts!
One has to look at this with a cool head and be open to information and not come at it with a closed mind.
The final answer to the question - unforunately - does come down to your starting point and worldy view. Do you accept the evidence and interpret it one way or do you interpret it another to fit your preconceptions of what there is around you?
If, like many people who support and continue to advocate evolution alone, that there cannot be a God and therefore anything that brought about life MUST take a long time because of the enormous statistical impossibilities required to bring about the order required to have a single cell of life, let alone a complex, multi-celled organism like a human being, then billions of years are required and hence anything that is found must be interpretted in that way and any evidence that contradicts that must be thrown out (eg bone marrow found in dinosaur bones - which can't possibly have survived millions of years!)
Anyway, this is almost a life long question that you cannot tackle in just one essay, but again I would say be open to possiblities and search for the answers with an open mind.
One place to look for counter arguments to evolution is:
Creation Ministries International - Bible Evolution Intelligent Design
There are MANY articles there on all sorts of topics. Just search using key words and you'll find what you need.
Good luck. This is a heated debate that goes on, especially in this "Year of Darwin".
