Based on the evidence, the creation/intelligent design side has done a much better job than the evolution side.

Opinion stated as fact.

There is no evidence which disproves creation, but there are plenty of questions about evolution for which there are no good answers.

One is not required to 'disprove creation' since one cannot prove a negative. The Burden of Proof is upon those who support it to prove ANY EVIDENCE that creation is anything other than conjecture, which they cannot.

If you wish to ignore the fossil records that record the evolution of the horse, or pigs, or whatever, fine. But don't claim there is no 'evidence.' The fact that there are 'questions' means that the mechanism is clear enough to be argued. It doesn't disprove anything.

The real issue is the thought process. Creationism is dependent upon an abandonment of logic and reason in favor of an ideology, and evolution seeks to build a theory based upon available evidence. The dispute is, Do you think or Do you believe? That is all.

You need a new screen name; your current one does not accurately describe you. The creation position is not a 'negative'. It is a positive assertion and is therefore quite amenable to be disproven, assuming one can find the evidence.

This does not change the fact that there is no evidence of macro-evolution. The religious belief in evolution is founded on mere speculation and unreasonable premises. Where are the transitional life forms; or do you believe in punctuated equilibrium, a hypothesis that is entirely opposite of the evolutionary belief of gradual change? Which is it?

Also you completely ignored the fact that there is considerable evidence that suggests macro-evolution is impossible because too many features in a transitional form would all have to occur within in a single generation in order for that new species to survive, even if one could assume such a life-form could survive to maturity in the first place.

One need not prove creation in order to disprove evolution. the problem for the evolutionists is that macro-evolution has been disproven and the only other rational option is creation/intelligent design; unless you can think of a third explanation for life as we know it.
