                 So just what is creationism trying to say?

Creationism is not "against" modern science! In fact, the Biblical mandate
to "subdue" the earth (Genesis 1:28) requires us to understand it, which is
what science is all about. "Creation Science" is simply the practice of
science with the assumption and acknowledgement that there is a creator
God, versus the now standard operating assumption of naturalism (that
nature is "all there is").

No one, including creation scientists, disputes that so-called
"micro-evolution" (variation within a type of organism) caused by natural
selection occurs and may be responsible for the large number of species
found within a type. Almost all touted evidences for evolution are of this
category (like Darwin's finches, the "peppered moth", or bacteria that
become resistant to antibiotics). However, it is important to note that
"micro-evolution" is a misnomer, as it implies that "a little" evolution is
taking place. In actuality, NO evolution is taking place, as no increase in
complexity (such as the development of a new organ) is being generated, but
merely the emphasis of some already present traits over others.

Large scale change of one type of organism into another, so-called
"macro-evolution", is beyond the ability of mutation coupled with natural
selection to produce. Evolutionists acknowledge this is a "research issue".
Even non-creation scientists (such as Denton and Behe) have written books
giving the hard scientific facts that document why this is impossible.

The "geologic column", which is cited as physical evidence of evolution
occurring in the past, is better explained as the result of a devastating
global flood which happened about 5,000 years ago, as described in the
Bible. Even evolutionists acknowledge that the fossil record is one of
"fully-formed abrupt appearance" and "stasis" (that is, no change over
time).

The belief that the atoms of a "Big Bang" eventually produced people ALL BY
THEMSELVES (that is, without any intelligent guidance) is contrary to the
well-proven Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the fundamentals of
Information Theory. The universe is known to be "running down" yet
evolution postulates it is "building up". Atoms to people evolution is much
more a "religious belief" than a scientific fact.

There is no reason not to believe that God created our universe, earth,
plants, animals, and people just as described in the book of Genesis!
