Zep, sure thing, I recommend three books #1 Denton’s “Evolution a theory in crisis” microbiologist Lehigh University. #2 Behe’s “Darwins black box” also a microbiologist, this book is good if you have a technical bent. #3 Johnson’s “Darwin on trial”.
Like design does not mean a common ancestor, that points out to a single designer.
But again we creationist do not reject micro-evolution a evolution within kind for variety and adoptability. Micro-evolution of kinds giving way to other kinds is what we reject.
Stephen J. Gould in Natural History magazine said:
“The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; The rest is inference, however reasonable, not evidence of fossils.
There are many books out there and new ones in review.
Sites check out: www.origins.org www.probe.org and www.answersingenesis.org just to name a few.
If you made up your mind Zep, I’m afraid you won’t find answers. Conversion happens in the heart and not in the mind, and in as much as Christianity is a logical belief, if you reluctant then nothing will persuade you.
Yes God created all in the order and let me underscore order that you see, a precise order and design that chance cannot produce.
We know that time, space and matter had a beginning. We know that cause has an agent and that would point to a creator.
Or so it would say: “In the beginning God created”; otherwise it would say: In the beginning there was nothing and then it exploded!!!…???
