There’s a LOT of proof out there. Visit a natural history museum or a dig site. Go to the Grand Canyon. Explore the canyon walls in detail; layer after layer. It was not put down in one great flood—it is millions of years of flooding water cutting through the rock, which has many layers of texture and strength; some easy to erode, others tough as, well, rock.

In any case, the Bible does NOT say HOW God created creation—just that he did. The proof of HOW, therefore, is in the observing, not believing.

As far as the fossil record goes, I would ask you to go out into the woods or nearby forests in your area and bring back a dead (not roadkill—too easy) animal carcass, skeleton or even bone. We know the woods abound with deer, squirrels, bears, rabbits, mice, etc., etc., but finding a dead one is rare. Basically any dead animal in the forest is quickly consumed, the bones scattered, or even themselves eaten by creatures or microbes. After a few months, not a trace is left. Compound this for those few remains that don’t utterly disappear and then last for MILLIONS of years? Very rare.

So for every creature God evolved from one to the other over the eons, in His way, little evidence remains.

God made us like Him—smart, intelligent—above all other creatures. He didn’t expect us to linger in the stone age or agrarian village, but excel and change the world through our knowledge and technology.

Ask yourself this: If we aren’t smart enough to understand how slowly things like stone can age and wear away, how could we ever make buildings and bridges that would last? The principles of science and engineering comes from us studying and understanding the world God put us in. We are smart enough to figure things out. He is not opposed to that, so long as we keep our Faith in Him.

Following the science that is evolution does not make one disbelieve God.
