God and Darwinism, more commonly called evolutionism, are mutually exclusive. They cannot exist together. Genesis 1 says that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". Fairly simple. For most people the debate is that God used evolution to create the world, this is called Theistic evolution. This, however, is not consistent with Darwinism or Creation.

Evolution is based on the belief of Uniformitarianism, that is, the past is the key to the present. What happened billions of years ago will happen again in the future thus creating a never ending cycle of life. This is totally up to chance. Man is an animal just like a dog, only more evolved. Man is by himself, what you see is reality. There is no room for faith in God, only room for faith in seemingly impossible and impractical explosions. More about how evolutionism violates the basic principles of thermodynamics and supports the debunked myth of spontaneous generation later.

Creationism is based on the belief that an Almighty God created the world. After each day of Creation the Bible says that, "the morning and the evening were the first day." And so on until 7. Clearly speaking of single days, not billion year ages.

The problem that arises is that often evolutionists try to say that because God and Darwinism are irreconcilable, then God and science are as well. Not so. These self proclaimed lords of knowledge would have you believe that the only science behind God is man's faith-which is not science at all! Evolution says there either (A) Some living cell has always existed, or (B) Parts of cells have always existed and during an explosion they magically fused together. The problem with the first option is that all life has to have a source. In the Middle Ages there was widespread belief in spontaneous generation, if a climate favored mice, then mice would appear in that climate. This was of course bogus, and was later proven false. But choice B' also has problems. How does an explosion put a cell together? And if nothing spontaneously generated, then what exploded? Spontaneous generation, a theory that no modern scientists dare believe lest he be ridiculed out of sight, is the basis of evolution. Another problem with evolution lies in the laws of thermodynamics. The world tends to disorder. Dying stars. Exploding volcanoes. Earthquakes. Disorder is all around us, the world proves it, evolution denies it.

Now you might say, "ah, but if not for spontaneous generation, where did your God come from?" And that's a fair question. That is where the Creationists faith comes in, that the almighty God of the Bible is real. You say that's faith, not science. I would say that faith and science are inseparable. Evolutionist Julian Huxley once said, "One with 3 million noughts (zeros) after it is the measure of the unlikeliness of a (just a) horse- the odds of it happening at all. No one would bet on anything so improbable happening; and yet it has happened." And critics say that Christians are dogmatic in there beliefs despite of the "facts".
