Atheism and Christianity - Part II (Creation)

There is one thing that is for sure in the fate of humanity: neither Atheism or Christianity will be proven fully wrong or fully correct through visual and physical means. We as humans can prove that cars exist because we can physically feel and visually see that they are there. But as for both of these beliefs, neither of them can be proven through humanity's eyesight or physical observation. [That is why it is a matter of believing.]
.
In today's time, the topics of Creation and Evolution haunt many as it is a factual debate of how the universe came into existence. This is presently going into my personal belief, but science has determined - through the Theory of Relativity - that our universe expands and separates daily as we are moving in an outward direction. That backs up the Big Bang Theory which has many connections to what many people call the Theory of Evolution. Personally, I feel that the past is tough to determine because we don't have the beginning visual to humans. [That is why it is a matter of believing.] Most atheists deny that God exists because "He simply doesn't" and you can't see him. Well we can't see humans evolving can we? Most say "It takes millions of years." Problem here is that the Theory of Evolution has only existed under 200 years, so how do we officially know it takes millions of years to evolve? We don't. [That is why it is a matter of believing.] And one other thing to consider is that science has had its wrongs many times before. When we think back to Galileo's time when he was arrested for [believing] that the Earth revolved around the Sun, not what the church and scientists believed, which was that the Sun revolved around the Earth. This goes to show that scientific evidence always improves and always has downfalls. So in that sense, how do we know that Evolution truly exists? How do we know that "what carbon dating says is accurate?" How do we know that all mathematics calculations are right? We don't. That is why everything is truly based through believing.
.
And although this doesn't correlate much to Creation, just consider that the Bible has existed for so long and its words have never changed. Translation has made it easier to read, but God's word will never change. His messages are clear, and though many scientists and Evolutionists will say wrong against Christianity, we know one thing: that as science comes and goes in theories, God will always remain the same. That is why the subject of Creation has never changed from what it originally was, because that is how God made the Earth.

Uhmmm, just wanted to correct something. The word of The Bible has changed. Books were added, and cut out, translations have changed the meanings of words completly, like "one who murders by use of poisons" becoming "witch". I doagree that even science comes down to a leap of faith, but you are oversimplyfing the arguements for evolution. I am not a biologist, so am not fully qualified to explain, but do a google search for "evolution chart" and you might find a good explaination, that address your post.
