"If I were an all powerful being who wanted to create something as big and beautiful as the ENTIRE UNIVERSE... I would NEVER do it all by hand."
Fortunately you are not God, and he did not do it by His hand but by the word of His mouth. How you would have created the universe is irrelevant. God told us exactly how He created the universe in Genesis 1. He did this in 6 days and by the genealogies we calculate the creation about 6000 years ago. He also reiterated this in Exodus 20:11, "For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
"I'd be too smart for that. First, I'd create the Laws of Physics, chemistry, etc. Then I would design a mechanism by which life of all forms can flourish.... IE... Evolution."
You are pretty arrogant to think that you are smarter than God. God created all of the laws of science, I agree. But the mechanism to create by evolution is a cruel way to create, the struggle for existence, the survival of the fittest. Have you read, "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin? There is no compassion, no helping out of others anywhere in that book. This book is the foundation of communism, nazism, abortion, eugenics, etc. Evolution has given the likes of Hitler, Stalin, the founders of Planned Parenthood reasons for murdering millions. They believe that they are helping evolution.
"To me, Evolution is proof of creationism. It is proof that there is an Omniscient, Omnipotent being out there."
This is a silly statement. How is it proof of creationism? The leading evolutionists are all atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye, Neil Degrass Tyson, etc...
"Most people who don't believe in evolution say "it's just a theory, it hasn't been proven" Which is a blatant misunderstanding of the word "theory". In scientific terms, a theory is something that has been proven, but not quantified (As opposed to a Law which is always true in every instance and can be calculated). It happens folks. No amount of whining and moaning can un-prove or undo evolution. So instead of believing that it is some affront to God, why not realize that Evolution is actually God's work?"
I don't know any creationist who would ever consider evolution a theory. It is an hypothesis and not a very good one. The more evidence they find against this hypothesis, the more they shout fact, and the more evolutionist must create rescue devices to save their failed hypothesis such as inflation, punctuated equilibrium, Oorts cloud, and the latest is iron to help preserve the recent discoveries of soft body parts and red blood cells in Dinosaur fossils for 60 million years. There are others. And whenever I ask an evolutionary scientist for evidence, they either give me evidence of small changes or speciation (which no one is arguing) or they tell me the we are here and that is why they believe in evolution.
"We've seen evolution in our lifetimes. On microbial scale, we see things like algae being coaxed into evolving into fuel producing species. As humans, we've had a hand in the evolution of Dogs. We chose the ones that are loyal and that look nice, and the rest were routinely killed off. Even an astute person can see how traits are passed down from human parent to human child. We see hundreds or thousands of versions of the same plants and animals in different regions of the world."
I have no idea what you are talking about here. I didn't know that you witnessed an algae evolving into fuel producing species. And what do you mean by dog evolution? Are you talking about different species of dog? Creationist have been arguing about rapid speciation for decades. There is a difference between vertical evolution and horizontal evolution. Do things change? Absolutely! Does fish evolve into people? Absolutely not!
"So lets look at this differently.
Evolution does not disprove creationism, it is the mechanism. Science is how were discover God's universe. It is not the unholy tool by which we unravel God. It is God's tool by which we discover HIM!
