It doesn't help when science says that when the earth was young, long before man arrived, that the earth was watered by a mist that rose from the ground,

It seems you meant to say something else there, as science doesn't say that.

It does no good to point out that man and cockroaches have a common enzyme therefore it should indicate some branching off from each other during some period of evolution, when it would be ridiculous for an Intelligent Designer not to use the same needed chemicals in more than one creature to make that creature function as the designer wants it to. Why would an Intelligent Designer need to keep reinventing the wheel, when He already has on hand what He needs to plug in to make a creation tick?

But you see, that's the problem with any form of creationism. Any circumstance can be made to fit with the notion. The power of evolution is that only the circumstance of related enzymes fits with evolution. If there were no relationship between the enzymes of various creatures, it would be a problem for the theory. But in fact, they are related.

The problems you've cited here apply equally to evolution and creationism.

They said it, showed it, on the Discovery Channel, in a simulation of the early earth and how much closer the moon was, and how the moon may have been carved from the earth due to an asteroid strike. It talked about and showed the earth being watered by a mist rising from the ground after the earth cooled from it's molten state. It was all speculation of all science supposes, as is most science regarding the origins of the earth and life.

I'm sorry you missed the show, it was all about evolution, with a little cell, in the great soup, coming to life and replicating itself, then splitting off to other functions such as digestion, sight, hearing. It was very entertaining even with the great leaps of faith and empty spaces requried to believe it.
