The uniqueness and singularity of creative acts such as those
described in Genesis 1 place their explanation or verification beyond
the range of scientific procedures. Knowledge concerning the nature
and time of such events is dependent on the testimony of reliable
witnesses-on revelation. If it should be proved that complex
biochemicals or physical structures associated with living organisms
could develop from simpler states as a consequence of the ordinary
properties of matter, such proof would not constitute evidence that
these features actually evolved in this manner; it would introduce
only the evolutionary process as one possibility in addition to the
fiat-creation stipulation set forth in the Bible.
The human mind, perhaps any created intelligence, is incapable of
understanding the origin of the universe. A godless approach to the
problem begins with previously existing inanimate matter that
possesses capabilities that naturally result in the development of
life and all other features of the contemporary universe. A God-
related approach begins with an intelligence capable of designing,
constructing, and maintaining all features of the universe. The origin
of either the primary matter required by the first model or the
intelligence required by the second model is humanly incomprehensible.

According to these guys (the Discovery Institute creationist scam
artists) biological evolution is pretty much a fact of nature.

Their newest creationist scam is to pretend to be discussing this fact
of nature while pushing their dishonest political agenda.

Of course, since they are known liars, you can't trust what they are
telling you. Sad but true.

You will just have to trust the real scientists, and what do they tell
you?
