If your world view excludes God, yes then evolution is true. If your world view does not exclude God, then evolution is the creation of man to get God out of the picture.
Since I have been studying evolution I have read about 10 books on the subject and hundreds of articles on the internet. The latest book is "The Death of Evolution" and reading that does seem to prove that evolution is on the way out as more and more scientists are ditching it as viable.
If your world view includes God you will notice that in Genesis it says that He created whatever it was after its own kind. This precludes evolution because it means that dog begets dog. Cat begets cat. Fish begets fish. Humans beget humans. Monkeys beget monkeys. Trees beget trees. Flowers beget flowers. And so on and so on.
That being the case, an amoeba cannot beget a fish which begets a lizard which begets a dinosaur which begets a monkey which begets a human.
To make matters worse, those who promote evolution do so with a lot of uncertainty. In the books I have read I am told that humans descended from monkeys. Last year I watched a programme on TV which featured an excited atheist who said that he had discovered that mankind evolved from a sand worm no bigger than his thumb nail.
Of late the idea that man descended from monkeys seems to have fallen by the wayside and now we are told that evolution is adaptation as in a finches beak changes shape and a dogs hair gets longer in a cold climate.
Evolutionists do drop some almighty clangers along the way. I lived in England when the Piltdown man was anointed as the one that filled in the gaps and proved evolution. 50 years later it was announced that it was a complete hoax and turned out to be some animal skull. I cannot understand how such experts could make such a ghastly mistake.
Another evolutionists who was doing some digging found a tooth. From that tooth, he constructed what the man looked like whom it came from, what his wife looked like, what his children looked like, what the village he came from looked like and what the people in that village did.
One could be forgiven for saying to that evolutionist "Of course you are joking."
When I started studying evolution the world was 20 million years old. This advanced to 80 million. Then to 200 million. Then to 1.3 billion and ended up at 13.5 billion courtesy of Christopher Hitchens.
One could read into that and say the evolutionists seem to grab at anything that will advance their cause.
Then there is the evolutionist/s who claim no one evolutionist speaks for another. What that means is that you can say what you want and it is true unless someone comes along and proves that what he said wasn't true. What it also means is that evolution is something that is in the eye of the beholder that blows with the wind and the latest fad.
When it come to faith, the evolutionist has much more faith than the christian as he has to believe that life is all about from goo to you via the zoo. No evidence. Just speculation. I admit I don't have enough faith to believe that.
So all in all, the fact that in the beginning God created...is much more rational than up jumped a little amoeba and turned itself into a fish which turned itself into a...which turned itself into....which turned it self into...and so on.
And of course the big blockbuster which has all atheists and evolutionists stumped is the question "How did life begin?" So far I haven't received one plausible answer to this question.
And do you know why it is so controversial when it was first published? Because it clearly calls a conscientious evolution (something intelligence in it, when modern secular science tried their best to take out the intelligence part from evolution).
