There are so many hot topics of debate nowadays that it almost seems like an exercise in picking the right one with which to voice one's opinion. The most controversial of these topics is undoubtedly the dispute between evolution and creation. Scientific evidence continues to point to the direction of evolution as the sole means of life on Earth coming into existence. But can it really be trusted?

If there is one thing I have noticed throughout the years, it is the rather alarming manner in which evolutionists will outrightly attack anyone who does not buy into the theory. These include personal attacks regarding a person's intelligence, common sense and even their mental health. I have always believed that the scientific community continually walks a fine line between the discovery of knowledge and the trappings of human pride, arrogance and elitism. Evolutionists foster that same elitist attitude by continuing to try and disprove the existence of a Creator. Why? Because, quite simply, some humans do not like the idea of having a higher authority to answer to. Again, pride and arrogance.

Although much scientific evidence points towards evolution as a vehicle for the continued progression of life on Earth, the theory is more full of holes than Swiss Cheese. Evolutionists bombard us with facts, figures, graphs, statistics, and percentages, but can too much information cloud the issue? Of course. The irony lies in the fact that most evolutionists become annoyed with what they perceive as creationist's "lack of common sense." To put the idea of common sense into proper perspective, let's first examine the supposed chain of events that led to life on Earth and the formation of the known universe as we know it.

1) All matter came into existence as the result of a random explosion called the "Big Bang." While such a theory isn't necessarily incorrect, the sheer foolishness of suggesting that it happened completely by accident is paramount. Such an explosion inevitably led to the formation and swelling of the known universe as we know it, not to mention the formation of our perfectly formed solar system. One must ask the question, "Where did all the matter that supposedly caused the Big Bang really come from? If such matter could have existed before the formation of a known universe, then surely an intelligent God could have always been in existence as well, correct?"

2) All life began as tiny microbes, and gradually worked their way up through millions upon millions
