Just a theory

Here is a FAQ here at Living Stones – “How do we maintain our faith with mounting scientific evidence of our origins from evolution?”

My answer is easy – show me the evidence.

I was recently accused of being a “narrow minded, ignorant, religious zealot” for stating that there really isn’t any truly compelling evidence that points to evolution. The person told me that I was blinded by a desire for God and that I was ignoring the truth that science was producing. I challenged that person on some things and less than an hour later I had this person completely dumbfounded and struck by the realization that he could not produce a single bit of truly concrete evidence that pointed towards evolution.

It just doesn’t exist.

The theory of evolution isn’t held by idiots. Intelligent people interpreted their observations and created a theory that might lead to something more substantial. More than a century later the evidence that all evolutionists agree needs to be produced has yet to be. The fossil record has produced interesting points of study, but has yet to produce anything that proves that any creature has ever evolved from one phyla of living thing to another. In fact, many former evolutionists have recently jumped ship so to speak, leaving their theory to be defended not by objective thinkers but by scientific fundamentalists.

For me, holding to the faith is easy because God has proven himself while evolutionists have not.

With an abundance of books on this subject from both Christian and scientist's perspective, what book(s) would you recommend that would equip us to refute the empty arguments of evolutionists?
