You don't have to take my word for it. Read the Bible. I wasn't there in the beginning. The LORD was.
By the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water. It's something to think about.
Objctive, testable, physical evidence of God, is there any?
But the Bible has been shown to be terribly flawed too.
With all of its flaws it is blasphemy to call it "the Word of God". It is also a breaking of the first two commandments.
You need to do a lot better than referring to the Bible for support.
The flaws are probably misconceptions. We could discuss it I suppose, but I don't want to hijack the thread.
Sure: the simple fact that evolution doesn't work and there isn't any third option.
False dichotomy, not to mention that evolution does work.
English Bibles contain a few mistranslations and there are instances in which something described in the Bible is so alien to modern experience that only a handful of scholars really know what is being described, but there are no deliberate falsehoods in the Bible and the Bible does not require belief in any sort of a trans-finite chain of probabilistic miracles and zero-probability events as does evolution.
No it doesn't. Once again there are entire categories of disproofs so gross that any real science theory would have been abandoned decades ago. Only ideologies and religious doctrines are defended despite all evidence as is evolution.
The following is a minimal list of entire categories of evidence disproving evolution:
- The decades-long experiments with fruit flies beginning in the early 1900s (decades of attempts to produce macroevolution in the lab produced only fruit flies).
- The discovery of the DNA/RNA info codes (information codes do not just sort of happen...).
- The discovery of bioelectrical machinery within 1-celled animals.
- The question of irreducible complexity.
- The Haldane Dilemma.
- The increasingly massive evidence of a recent age for dinosaurs, including soft tissue being found in dinosaur remains, petroglyphs showing known dinosaur types, and actual radiocarbon dates for dinosaur remains yielding dates of 20K - 40K prior to the present.
- The DNA analysis eliminating Neanderthals and thus all other hominids as plausible human ancestors.
- The total lack of intermediate fossils where the theory demands that the bulk of all fossils be clear intermediate types.
- The question of genetic entropy.
- The obvious evidence of design in nature.
- The arguments arising from pure probability considerations which Fred Hoyle noted.
- The question of computing elements at a cellular level ( Watch the Video | Programming Of Life ).
Like I say, that's a minimal list.
No third option? how many religions are there? and we haven't even started on how many types of aliens there are yet.Sure: the simple fact that evolution doesn't work and there isn't any third option.
Because your premise is false. Leprechauns do not make rainbows.

Why should we take the word of the men who wrote the Bible? Writing something down does not make it true. We are asking for objective evidence.
