After you have seen miracles of God in your life and others, miraculous creationism makes a lot more sense.
If God can heal a blind man instantly, it's no more difficult to do that impossible thing than to create the universe which is likewise impossible. In fact, creating the universe might be easier because there wasn't man yet scoffing on Earth saying God couldn't possibly do such a thing.
Scientifically, there are plenty of miracles which transpire that are simply "impossible". Certainly God could have construed a remarkable series of events to permeate through the laws of nature from the beginnings of history to cause the miracle, but after you realize how many miracles happen, and how some are conditional based upon repentance (King Hezekiah), we then realize most miracles will only happen as a result of our choices relative to our prayers. And without the prayer, the miracle will not occur... thus revealing a principle outside natural law of the universe.
I own an academic compendium recently written, cataloging the accounts of historical and modern day miracles, and also proving the point that miracles are common to the modern day human experience, despite a western assumption this is not so. It has hundreds or maybe thousands cataloged, with various degrees of evidences. Some with medical reports, or some word of mouth accounts.
Understanding this is important for creationism because it causes us to realize, that man could be made instantly. God can reform and heal our deformities in an instant. At which juncture, an evolutionary process is not required by God, nor is it logical to conclude that this is what happened given the evidences of miracles.
"God can heal us instantly of physical deformities and ailments, but God certainly had to evolve us to create us!" It's nonsense logically.
But I think people go to that argument because they are simply unaware miracles happen, and they don't believe in them or something like this. Perhaps they think it was a momentary thing that happened when Christ lived?
But if you're going to accept the miracles surrounding Christ, then you have to accept the ones that happened before and after in scripture. Even a preterist who chops miracles off at 70 AD, you still have the issue that miracles happened in scripture prior to that time and so using intelligent design evolution doesn't make much sense in the face of the miraculous.
From my viewpoint evolutionary viewpoints are just a high degree of unbelief. I would wager most people who believe this mindset have not received many miracles in their life.
Keep in mind, I believed in Darwin's evolution for a good 15 years. When I became a Christian I studied evolution some, and began to reject it because I trusted God's word more than the world's lies they invent. "Lie to me once, lie to me twice," was the crystal clear accurate reasoning I applied. God doesn't lie however, despite the people who teach he does (the ignorant). And yet, knowing it from scripture was insufficient to explain to the world for apologetics. They didn't believe the Bible.
So I prayed to God to show me why Darwin's evolution is false from logical reasoning, and proven false by what we already know.
God led me to information theory and rules of logic in computerized information systems. These rules, combined with all attempts at computer modeling of the evolutionary process have disproved Darwin's version of evolution. Random mutation + natural selection is an insufficient mechanism for mathematical reasons. I learned this from information theory and explanations I found online which correlated to my knowledge in programming I had learned previously.
The simplest explanation is found on page 194 of the "Devil's Delusion" written by David Berlinski. So what I had learned had been scientific fact since the 60's and 70's when a mathematical biologist had proven some of these rules concerning DNA.
The intellectual coherency of evolution died then some 40+ years ago. Society itself now believes a religion called evolution. Their priests are professors who abandon proven fact, in place of superstition and ignorance. They can certainly believe in evolution if they blind themselves to all the facts which prove it to be a 100% untenable position.
But since it was false all along, why bother to dilute creationism into intelligent design evolution? If evolution were the lie from Day 1, and it's been a false thing all the time since then, and is 100% false now, ... why even bother to dilute creationism into something besides the miraculous?
I don't personally. I believe it isn't true for one, and then to try and mix doctrines with the world is just to try and placate it so they like you more... winning the praise of men, rather than the praise of God.
