Rather than trying to use science to prove this unprovable idea, Evolutionists declare it to be self-evident when it is not.  My friend is self-evident because he makes himself known to me.  My God is self-evident because He makes Himself known to me.  Evolution is not self-evident and neither is Natural Selection as a means of adding information to DNA.  Neither mutation nor Natural Selection can add information to DNA.  The scientific laws show us this.  The idea that information can be added to DNA by natural means has never been shown to be true by any scientific test.   'The truth is that the Evolutionist's story is that Natural Selection can only select out extreme mutations that threaten life.  Small mutations just accumulate in the population without being selected out.  No mutations add genetic information, but Evolution's story would requre that there be some mechanism to add genetic information by natural means.  Information only can come from information.  Information is never added by mutation or Natural Selection.  Mutation destroys information.  Natural Selection eliminates mutations that are extreme enough.

The evidence overwhelmingly points to the fact that God really put in a lot of information into living things originally so that we can have so much information to draw from. There is a new science of baraminology that is classifying living things and noting that there is not one tree of life but rather a forest of trees that are disconnected from each other at the roots--just like as if they were created kinds. What a surprise!

The reality is that organisms have a limited, but quite remarkable, capacity to adapt to various changes in the environment. This can be observed.  This has always occurred within kinds of living things.   We have never observed, either in living animals or plants or in fossils, any kind of living thing turning into another kind of living things.  The fossils tell us that there is great variation within kinds, but kinds are distinct.  Sometimes, the word, species, is brought into the discussion, but it is irrelevant to the discussion. Species are not kinds, and scientists don't seem to agree on a definition for the word, species. It is just a smoke screen.

Ungodly people are forced to hold on tightly to some basic presuppositions.  These presuppositions are just simple-minded assumptions.  They are filters and a way to censor out any information that supports the existence of God.  They set up a web of rules to filter out God.  They will only accept those things that conform to Naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism.  Naturalism claims that God does nothing.  Materialism claims that there is no God or spiritual realm.  Uniformitarianism claims that there was not creation and that there was no violent worldwide flood, as the Bible and numerous other historical accounts record.  Whatever they observe that does not conform to this complex filter is censored.  The way that it is censored can take several forms.  The ungodly may boldly proclaim that, though the data appears to support God's version and refute the version of the ungodly, yet it still must be interpreted to mean just the opposite of what it does mean.  A backup method that ungodly people use is to prophecy that in the future, science will be able to explain what they see as an anomaly.  If that fails, they will hide the data, set it aside, or lie to keep the public from knowing the truth.  The data clearly demolishes the story of the ungodly and clearly supports the reality of the Creator God, His Bible, and His abiding Presence in His people.  When confronted with the obvious, a closed-minded ungodly person says, "I can't understand it."  They are willingly ignorant because they refuse to hold God in their knowledge.  The reality is that these people, for whatever reason, don't what to know the Creator.  They don't want to truly know Jesus, their Creator.
