The Theory of Evolution is enthusiastically dedicated entirely to the origin of the universe, our Earth, and life as we know it on our planet.

The data is so detailed and extensive, that it overwhelms us ...often acting like a tranquilizer, paralyzing any thoughts that may challenge it and often leaving us without any intelligent questions or responses.

When I graduated from college, I had an enormous amount of information that had been fed into my head ...which I didn't quite know what to do with.  I accepted a position as direct care staff at the Mental Institution.  One of the highly esteemed intellectuals in the psychology department boasted to me that he was in charge of writing up most of the belabored policies. He said that his technique was to make the policies extremely wordy and lengthy, with words that most people do not understand.

It kind of reminds me of the Affordable Care Act that was passed a few years ago ...especially the endorsement by Nancy Pelosi, as she told us that we had to pass it to know what was in it.  And it was nearly 2,000 pages long ...allowing not nearly enough time for anyone to go through it thoroughly before voting on it. Her attitude as to whether we should pass the bill in Congress, sounded like a Nike commercial, "Just do it!"

The Bible is a rather lengthy compilation of writings, though the section which describes the Creation is a quite brief section. But, unlike the other two examples I've given, I would recommend you read it to see what's in it. It is so fulfilling to get to know He whom we say we are willing to accept.   

Yet, though there are countless cross-references and fulfilled prophesies, the Bible is not solely a proof within itself.  If we view it as merely data against data, the debate goes on. Largely that is because the convincing is not usually based upon who can provide the most accurate data.  The convincing has usually already previously been established, and most people will not be convinced anew.  They accept their own sources ...of information and respected individuals, and they will follow the well-rehearsed responses they've heard other people give. And whether it is the belief in the Bible, or in the theory of evolution, it is much a matter of trust and faith.

Therefore, I believe the best way to approach either subject, is by avoiding the cyclical arguments of who has the best ideas.
