Some key verses:
Ge 1:26,27, 1Co 15:38,39, Heb 11:3
God Created Everything through Jesus
God created everything through Jesus. (Ge 1:1,26, Jn 1:1-3,14-17, Col 1:13-16, Heb 1:1,2)
God created our world in 6 literal days. (Ge 1:5,8,13,19,23,31, Ge 2:2, Ex 20:8-11)
God created our world approximately 6,000 years ago. (compare Lk 3:23-38 and Bible geneologies)
God cares for His creation. (Mt 10:29-31, Ac 14:16,17)
The Big Bang Theory is False.
No Spontaneous Generation of Physical Substance
Something cannot come from nothing. (Heb 11:3)
Infinity cannot come from a finite source.
No Definitive Timing
Carbon dating assumes linear environmental factors.
There cannot be a present without an apparent past.
Tree rings in the Garden of Eden.
Smooth rocks in a stream
Light from distant stars.
The Theory of Evolution is False.
The theory of evolution is false. (Ps 33:9, Ro 1:20-25)
No Spontaneous Generation of Physical Life
Even a single living cell is incredibly complex
Cell membrane (selective filtering)
Centrioles (cell division)
Chromosomes (master blueprint, DNA)
Endoplasmic reticulum (protein storage and distribution)
Golgi bodies (protein storage and distribution)
Mitochondria (manufacture of ATP, which provides electrical energy)
Nucleolus (ribosome assembly)
Nucleus (control center)
Ribosomes (assemble amino acids into proteins)
"One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are--as a result, I believe in spontaneous generation." (Scientific American, Aug. 1954)
"From the probability standpoint, the ordering of the present environment into a single amino acid molecule would be utterly improbable in all the time and space available for the origin of terrestrial life." (American Scientist, Jan. 1955)
No Transitional Forms
Kind produces its kind; there are no "transitional forms". (Ge 1:21,24-27, Ge 6:17-20, Ge 7:13-16, Ge 8:15-19)
Variation within kinds is allowed, but progression across kinds is not. (1Co 15:38,39)
"There are two or three million species on earth. A sufficient field one might think for observation; but it must be said today that in spite of all the evidence of trained observers, not one change of the species to another is on record." (Life and Letters, Vol. 3, p. 25, Charles Darwin)
Complex Systems are Useless Until Fully Developed
Consider any body system, such as the digestive system, muscular system, nervous system, reproductive system, skeletal system, and immune system. (1Co 12:18-20)
Consider any body organ, such as the eye, ear, nose, mouth, brain, stomach, and hand. (Pr 20:12)
Consider any body process, such as blood clotting, blister formation, callus formation, and temperature regulation.
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree ... The belief that an organ as perfect as the eye could have formed by natural selection is more than enough to stagger anyone." (Origin of Species, Charles Darwin, 1902 edition, p. 250)
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." (Ps 139:14)
There are no transitional, partial, complex systems.
Complex systems are common design patterns found in all species.
Bilateral Symmetry
Two eyes, ears, nostrils, hands, arms, legs, lungs, kidneys, etc.
Same number of fingers and toes on each side.
There are no transitional, non-symmetric, or partially symmetric forms.
Bilateral symmetry is a common design pattern found in all species.
Male and Female
Male and female are separate creatures with perfectly interdependent reproductive designs.
There are no transitional, partially interdependent male/female forms.
Male/female interdependence is a common design pattern found in all species.
Design Patterns Point to a Master Designer
Cross-species complex systems
Cross-species bilateral symmetry
Cross-species male and female forms

Through Jesus, we can be re-created with a new spiritual nature. (Jn 3:3-8, 2Co 5:17)
