Re: The Origins Debate, an article by Daniel Friedmann
This are the most important parts of this article.
I think, base on what have been preach or analys to the young one. It's the mentality they are moving around with.
In my opinion though

This alone has answered the question because if the Bible is testable and science struggles with information unknown, it then means that there is really no controversy about the origins of the Universe. How long will the experiment by the Scientists last? maybe next decade, century, or millennium while the answer remains in a book that not many people would want to explore with at least an open mind and probably get a broader view that would enhance accurate and verifiable conclusions.

Hebrews 11:3
It is therefore not possible to perform an experiment to prove the fact of creation. On the other hand to claim that there is empirical evidence in support of evolution is a lie. Evolution cannot be supported by experimentation and it requires more faith to take evolution as true. Who would be there to wait for billions of years to perform experiment that demonstrates the mutation of the fish into some amphibians. What about the missing links? In Genesis 3 God pronounced degeneration on creation/nature which Scientists have found to be a fact in the laws of thermaldynamics

I often point to the scripture Matthew 18:19 as the "formula" to communicate with God. It says "Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it SHALL be done for them of my father which is in heaven." (Meaning that God will grant the wishes of two people praying for the same thing WITHOUT EXCEPTION). This "formula" can be used to prove whether or not we get the consistent result promised by Jesus in the Bible. Will two people praying together help restore vision, hearing, or someone's ability to walk as was done by Jesus in the Bible? Will two people praying together be enough to provide food for hundreds of starving people, much like Jesus was able to do? This Matthew 18:19 "formula" should easily prove whether or not there is an "invisible force" that continues to interact with our reality as the Bible claims.
I'm no theologian but I'm sure that there are many other religious texts full of "formulas" on how we can "connect" to God and prove his existence. Have any of these "formulas" been as reliable as the physics and scientific formulas that easily prove things that we cannot see in the Universe? If not, isn't the argument about God's creative powers a waste of time? Shouldn't we prove God's existence first and THEN take steps toward determining what creative powers and qualities this "invisible force" truly possesses?
We currently live in a world where 3 MILLION children die around the world EVERY YEAR from starvation alone (that does not include illness and accidents). With numbers that staggering, I sometimes hope that the God of the Bible does NOT exist. I'd be appalled to know that the grand creator of the universe had the power to feed all those children but never bothered to lift a finger to alleviate their suffering.

this debate is probably known to everyone.
CREATION: believed by all kinds of religions-Christian, Islam, Shinto, Budhism, etc, some calls it mythology Greek Mythology,
EVOLUTION: believed by scientist, famous theories written in books like Darwin, Big Bang Theory etc
what exactly are we trying to prove by debating? what will happen if a side wins? doesn't this creates division to humanity instead of unity?
isn't this like trying to prove - which comes first? chicken or egg? how can you prove it?
i believe no matter what one believes we should set one goal as humans and look towards the future. no one should harm anyone with their experiments just to prove their point. i therefore conclude at the end of the day we should spread FAITH HOPE and Love faster than covid-19!
