Have you researched the theory of creation?  Are you a believer in the evolution of species?  The following ten facts show how the theory of creation is much more scientific than the theory of evolution.  Frankly, the creation model answers the questions regarding our origins much better and much more scientifically than evolution can.

Cause and Effect

An omnipotent Creator is an adequate First Cause for all observable effects in the universe, whereas evolution is not an adequate cause. The universe could not be its own cause.

Relativity

Einstein emphasized that all frames of reference as to size, position, time and motion in the world are relative, not absolute. This argues that the universe cannot be an absolute existence. Since it could not produce itself, it must be in existence due to the omnipotence of an external Creator, who is Himself it's absolute standard.

Motion

The universe is not static; everywhere in space and time occur phenomena and processes. These manifest omnipresent energy perpetually generating motion. Even matter is composed of particles in constant motion. This fact argues for an omnipotent Cause of such energies and motion and also for a completed creation in the past, in accord with the creation model. That is, there is a "hierarchy of movements"; one type of movement or dynamic law does not evolve into another.

Energy Conservation

Energy is the fundamental physical entity and exists in a variety of inter-convertible forms. Everything that exists in space and time is energy and everything that happens is energy conversion. The Law of Energy Conservation - "energy can be converted from one form onto another, but can neither be created nor destroyed" - is the most important and best-proved law in science.

"This law is considered the most powerful and most fundamental generalization about the universe that scientists have ever been able to make." - Isaac Asimov

Mass-Energy Equivalence

The inter-convertibility of matter and energy is one of the great discoveries of the 20^th Century science. Therefore, matter can now be regarded as a form of energy, with the total of mass and energy being conserved in nuclear reactions. Apart from such reactions, matter itself is always conserved, as predicted from the creation model.

Classification and Order

The fact that categories of natural phenomena can be arranged in orderly classification systems (table of chemical elements, biological taxonomy as in the Linnaean system, a hierarchy of star types, etc.) is a testimony to creation. That is, if all entities were truly in a state of evolutionary flux, classification would be impossible. In biological classification, for example, it would be impossible to demark where "cats" leave off and where "dogs" begin. Similarities in structure, therefore, do not necessarily imply evolutionary descent from a common ancestor; an alternative and better explanation is that of creation by a common Designer of similar structures for similar functions and different structures for different functions.

Processes

Every unit of matter in the universe interacts in various ways with other units of matter or energy. The universe is dynamic, forces are interacting, processes are taking place, events are happening, energy is being utilized and work is being done. All of this activity speaks of orderly and meaningful purpose in the universe, not random stumbling and bumping. Were it not so, there would be no point to scientific study at all. "Meaning" and "purpose" in turn are predictions of the creation model.

Forces and Fields

Inter-actions in nature depend upon three types of force and the "fields" associated with them; namely, electromagnetic, gravitational and nuclear forces. All three have apparently always acted as they do now, since the beginning of the universe. There is no evidence that these entities have ever "evolved" into their present form. The field action is propagated through free space in the form of wave motion (electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, etc.) at the same speed as that of light, 300,000,000 meters per second. There is a real mystery in this wave phenomenon because it takes place in the "nothingness" of free space - a vacuum. What vibrates in this wave motion? No one has answered that question, but it is a doubly puzzling problem for evolution. It is unlikely that wave phenomena could evolve in the void of a vacuum where there is nothing to evolve from.

Environmental Interdependence

In nature, systems normally are integrated with their environments in such marvelous ways as to give the strong appearance, at least, of creative forethought. In the organic realm, natural selection acts as a conservative mechanism to screen out any novel features which intrude on a previously adjusted system, thus tending to preserve the status quo in nature. On the other hand, if the environment itself changes, there is usually enough variational potential in the created genotype to allow it to adjust to the new environment before it is eliminated. The environment coupled with natural selection constitutes a powerful cybernetic device to conserve the created kinds and the balance of nature. This is exactly what one would predict from the creation model.

Energy Decay

Finally, there is the remarkable fact that all processes involve energy changes and these changes always tend to go in a "downward" direction, resulting in a net decrease in the "availability" of the converted energy for further useful work. Although the Law of Energy Conservation (the First Law of Thermodynamics) assures us that no energy will be destroyed, this Law of Energy Decay (the Second Law of Thermodynamics) tells us that energy continually proceeds to lower levels of utility. The Creation Model predicts directional changes in an initially perfect system are bound to be in the direction of imperfection.

"What the Second Law tells us, then, is that in the great game of the universe, we not only cannot win; we cannot even break even!" - Isaac Asimov
