I was raised and educated as a Christian. I thoroughly understood and believed in Creation. But, when I became disillusioned regarding religion and God (because of other intense suffering in my life and no empiric evidence that any supposed "God" even cared), I actually took the time (years!) to study out the claims of the Theory of Evolution as an alternative answer to how we got here (because, we are not god and couldn't have just always been here -- we had to have a beginning).

What I found, though (and already having a background in Medical and Computer Science), is that the Theory of Evolution is based upon a multitude of unscientific assertions with absolutely no basis in scientific fact. Meaning, it is not science to assume that just because something is observable today, that it must have been just as equally observable back before there was anybody to observe it. It is also not science to assume that just because an event or process is unobservable, that any old speculation as to how such an event or process might have occurred must be the only possible answer on the issue.

In point of fact, all of the honest big names supporting the Theory of Evolution admit that most of the proposed answers in the theory are actually statistically impossible; but that they must, nevertheless, be the only possible answer because the alternative (i.e., God) is just as "impossible" (to them). Talk about great (deluded) faith! So, I finally dismissed the Theory of Evolution on the basis of the total lack of scientific facts to support it. In the end, I also found that God is willing to show Himself to those whom are able to admit that they don't have all the answers and are willing to surrender to His Will.
