Accept the Biblical account of creation on faith alone; as a Christian myself, I will respect and defend your decision.
But try to “prove” creation by defending the scientific accuracy of creationism, and I’ll be saddened by your lack of faith.
Please don’t make Christians look stupid.

I was a theistic evolutionist until about 7 or 8 years ago, so I understand the emotional turmoil you must be going through when someone challenges your faith in scientism. I learned the truth — that Genesis is history — by first examining the geological column. I was so dumbfounded by what I saw, I had to examine it over and over again before I would believe my own eyes.

The world-wide geological column, the observations of the natural limits built-into the adaptation and speciation of life forms, the world-wide fossil record loaded with marine fossils, and the mind-boggling complexity of the cell, all support the accuracy of Genesis. My faith in the Word of God has never been stronger.
Nothing supports the secular narratives of Darwin and Lyell, except just-so stories. Therefore, I admit to lacking faith in evolutionism and uniformitarianism.
The so-called “big bang” theory is also loaded with wild speculations and just-so stories, so I have no faith that it amounts to anything but a scheme by which to avoid the obvious, which is, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.”
I realize the following statement may have been somewhat overplayed, but it is certainly appropriate:
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries” [Robert Jastrow, “God and the Astronomers.” W. W. Norton & Company, 2nd Ed, 1992, p.16]

I asked you to show us evidence for evolution, and you avoided my request. You have also demonstrated that your faith in the “science of the day” supercedes your faith in the written Word of God. Therefore, by publically claiming to be a Christian, it is you who are making Christians look stupid.
