Creation versus evolution is probably one of the most highly debated and argued topics all over the world. This subject alone has divided families, churches, and nations asking this one question: is there an intelligent creator that made everything and everyone, or did everything come to be out of random chance? So the question comes to be, is there a God?
First we need to establish what creation and evolution are. Creationism is the theory that all animals, humans and things were created by an intelligent designer which is what the Holy Bible states. Evolution is the theory that the world came to be by random chance, and all living things evolved from one another without any help from a supernatural being. Now that we see both are theories, we can establish that both require faith. But only one can be true, so why is it so highly disputed?
I too used to believe evolution when I was younger. First hearing about it in middle school, I believed it because it was taught as fact, not theory, and I had never any other theory that contradicts it. Then, my sophomore year in high school, a huge change occurred in my life and I started attending church more. I wanted to learn as much as I could, and this year I came upon the infamous creation versus evolution. Wanting to learn more I did something no one does, I questioned the experts. Now I know the four major studies evolutionists use to support their claim (which are homology, macroevolution, the fossil record, and the big bang theory), why these don’t hold up well, and what support there is from the creation side.
First we will tackle the evolutionists’ claims starting with homology.   Homology is the study of common body parts. From the evolution side, homology is seen in animals that have common joints, muscular structure, or skeletal structure. They explain the reason for this is having a common ancestor, but that would be the same as saying that humans and grasshoppers have a common ancestor because we both...
