6. For those who place trust in the Bible, it should be noted that the Bible always speaks of special creation by God as a fact. If evolution were God's mechanism there would be no reason for Him to hide it in His revelation. Even Jesus Himself refers to the creation (and the global flood of Noah's time) as facts. The listed scripture references (NIV) include:
Col 1:16 "For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers of rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."
Heb 1:2 "… He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe."
Heb 1:10 "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands."
Jesus said: Mk 10:6 "But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.'"
Also: Mt 24:37-39 "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."
7. Finally, when scientific data is examined, a creationist interpretation can be usually be provided which is just as reasonable, if not superior to, an evolutionary interpretation.
