What facts support creation?

ANSWER This whole apparently-complicated question all comes down to "ORIGINS". There are two diametrically-opposite choices for how everything originated. One is Creation By Evolution and the other is Special Creation by God. The Theory of Evolution teaches that all matter originated with the explosion of the "Big Bang" , but no scientific facts support creation by evolution. Despite wishful thinking, belief in a creation by evolution is based on faith, not evidence. The theory of Evolution is non-replicable, and cannot explain what actually happened before the physical creation. On the other hand, God was there and tells us in the Bible what there was before Creation. The Creation/Evolution question is really all about Religion and not Science. A religion is defined [Collins Dictionary] as whatever you strongly believe in, and thus Science can be a Religion. If a person rejects the God of Religion and Origin by Special Creation then the only option left is the god of Science and belief in Origin Of The Species by Evolution. As Dale Carnegie quoted , "A person persuaded against his will is of the same opinion still". Thas [mis]quote was probably taken from Samuel Butler's poem "Hudibras". Part III, Canto iii, lines 547-550 : He that complies against his will Is of his own opinion still Which he may adhere to, yet disown, For reasons to himself best known Facts are irrelevant when one's position is predetermined.
