You don't even know.
Yes, there are some fools who think they can handle the subject, but i think you can see idiots on every side.I listen to the creationist arguments, just as I did when I was a creationist. The extent that apologists would go to misrepresent, and even outright lie about, that "same scientific data," was appalling to me as a Christian.
It's the only naturalistic theory (thesis rather, and there are several denominations), a theistic theory wouldn't be scientific.What is your falsifiable test for creationism? You aren't doing science if you can't perform this type of test. I can name a few right off the top of my head for evolution....and it's passed them all.
That if the system (living nature plus its premises) is not serviced and maintained, it will degrade.What predictions can creationism make about the natural world?

Maybe you didn't realise the paradigms are very different, resulting in opposite conclusions.
I mean, I'm 44 and a Christian for some 8 years now, and looking back i realize now how deep the 'naturalistic truths' were embedded in my views on the origins of things.
I don't believe in data corruption creating purposeful additions and / or improvement.
Would you want to be a mutant?
You'll be okay, ill or dead, not improved.
Ask a medical doctor.
Are you saying that there isn't a gene that determines hair color? My parents both have brown hair and my brother has blonde. That's a genetic mutation. Care to explain what you think determines hair color?
Mutations are mistakes. Genes are made with a high degree
of variability. Tall, short, thin, wide, it's all part of the original
design.
it's all part of the original design.
Please explain what is intelligent about this design.
Would you call Ford a failure because their old cars eventually rust
out and the parts wear out and it stops running? Our current state
is the result of thousands of years of mutations, genetic loss due to
inbreeding, disease and war.

Why do you use inconsistent comparisons? You do realize how fallacious this argument is, right?
A car is NOT a living system. They are not related.
Both were created. Both eventually are brought down by time and entropy.
This is actually the best time to be alive. We've eradicated certain diseases, modern medicine has made huge advancements and our average lifespan has tripled in the last 2000 years.
We already have
resistant bacteria due to overuse of drugs, and we are likely to see the same in viruses because of vaccines.
And the second time, it caused the lifespan
of man to drop from about a thousand years to 120 or less.

So are theophobes.Aw, you evolution deniers are all alike.
You seem not to grasp that it's mutation that makes the changes, not selection.Evolution theory posits that mutations and natural selection, working together, drive evolution. You deniers always separate them and point out that one alone couldn't drive evolution.
It's not a strawman.And you wonder why that straw man is ignored.
You have strong faith.Oh, and evolution theory doesn't work "purpose". The evolution just happens . . . . naturally.
Do you have any verifiable and testable evidence that confirms that humans had 1000+ year lifespans?
If not my only response to this claim is:
Any system without maintenance will degrade.Why do you use inconsistent comparisons? You do realize how fallacious this argument is, right?
