You sound like a skeptic of the Holy Bible and God as Creator of the heavens
and the earth. You need to view the video on creation and evolution I posted
on another thread. Maybe it would help you determine what you should
believe is true. You seem to be intelligent, but on the wrong path.
The validity (of a thought, of an argument, of a theory of reality, of epistemology, of a belief) is measured by its efficacy alone, and not by its conformity to the principles of formal logic, of a specific religion, of a philosophical or a metaphysical doctrine, or of epistemology.
In my opinion the Christian theory as regards the so called “creation” of the observer Universe does not hold neither because I am “intelligent”, nor because the doctrine per se does not conform to the principles of your theology, but because its efficacy is non-existent. Instead of simply admitting that he doesn’t know, the scribe(s) of Genesis felt free to come up with unjustified assumptions, which in turn are accepted blindly from the believers😵

That is why I simply dismiss the theory of evolution as being false.
But for the creation of the universe by an intelligent designer I see very
clearly. Perhaps you have your eyes closed to the complexity of all the
created things around you and can not see the signature of God.

No one is asking you to accept any theory blindly, in this case The Theory of Evolution, there are countless books available in all book stores and libraries where you can read up on the evidence yourself. Science is also governed by the 'peer-review' process, all journals can be found and you can peruse over the data yourself.

Get real Ron. I don't know what's more embarrassing, whether you believe that or you expect me to believe that. The truth is you dismiss the Theory of Evolution simply because it contradicts your Christian faith. You've never read a book on the subject.

creationism, too. They give evidence to believe in Jesus. They are
peer-reviewed as well. I believe Christianity is the true faith and all
others, including evolution, that contradict it can not be true.

The circle is closed, leave your brain at the door and kindly place your blinkers on.
