No.

As long as people actively attempt to discredit Christianity by discrediting creation, we have to have apologetics focused on providing a defense of creation.

We don’t have to fear science. That’s the bottom line. Just like we don’t have to fear archeology. We don’t have to fear millions of years. Mt St Helens shows us exactly what those walls are - hydrological sorting that happen extremely quickly in a catastrophic event. Why there are marine specimens at the tops of mountains.

Skeptics will be skeptics. Many truly do not want it to be true, the famous paraphrase of a biologist “evolution doesn’t work, but I stay with it because the alternative is personally horrifying” mentality pervades a great deal of these people. With those statements they have already said they will ignore evidence, they will not care even if it’s true when they know their evidence and arguments don’t work, they are refusing it because they don’t want to accept it - not even as a possibility because it’s too terrible for them to consider.

Jesus said you’ll always have the poor with you. He could have easily said you’ll always have people who will refuse to believe, too. Some people lived with Jesus, knew Him, knew who He claimed to be, saw and heard the miracles, and still didn’t believe. Some of those unbelievers even decided to persecute Him. If some today do the same thing to us when we present arguments and evidence, we must not be surprised.

Yes.

What did Jesus ever say about Creation?

Why would creation that took billions of years prevent the Christ from being your savior?

If the Bible is infaillable, is the Bible an infaillable doorstop? Of course not, because the Bible should not be used as a doorstop. The Bible should also not be used as a biology textbook.
