Before we start with the science, here is something to think about quoted from www.clarifyingchristianity.com.

The creation is  covered in 31 verses in the first chapter of Genesis.  It is obvious we aren't looking at detailed step by step instructions on how to create a universe, but rather the broad overview of how the universe was created. 

Moses wrote Genesis 3500 years ago.  He saw the creation of the universe and wrote what he saw.  Since then scientists have found his description  and their findings to be in complete agreement.  Moses wrote about events 3500 years ago that scientists have not fully understood until just recently.

One example is the first event, the separation of light from darkness. This is an excellent description of an event astronomers refer to as the photon decoupling event.  Prior to that event, say modern astronomers, the universe was opaque. 

Light could not stream, helium atoms could not form.  There was no material for building worlds, there was no light and darkness.  After this event, light formed and streamed creating light and dark places in the universe.

Helium atoms could form and thus worlds were able to be formed.  The photon decoupling event as described by astronomers matches Moses description of the separation of light from darkness.

From there, the following takes place:
The creation of the earth itself
The separation of the dry land from the seas
The creation of plants in a particular order - grasses, shrubs and trees
The placing of the heavenly bodies in relationship to the earth
The creation of animal life in a particular order - fish, birds, land animals
The creation of man

As scientists study the creation of the universe and life on earth, they
have found that it happened in exactly that order.

David Attenborough's book "Life on Earth" gives a good description of the order of the creation of life on earth.  His listing of the order of appearance of various types of life and the sequence given in Genesis agree.

The placing of heavenly bodies is also in agreement.  The moon is of particular interest.  Genesis 1:17 says "God set them [the moon and the sun] in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth". 

What is interesting is the size of the moon in relationship to the earth. It is much larger in comparison to the earth than any other moon is compared to the planet it circles. Due to its size and composition, the Moon is sometimes classified as a terrestrial "planet" along with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Scientists still have not decided exactly how the moon came to be in orbit around the earth or even how it was formed.  What is interesting to us, is that the moon is so large that it could easily destroy the earth.  A shorter distance away and the moon would not circle the earth. If it were any closer, it would impact the earth creating massive destruction.  Our moon is unique in the Universe and is precisely placed to accomplish it's purpose.

Science itself proves the Bible to be correct in it's description of the creation.

Now we would love to go into a debate about all of this, however we discovered a website that in essence must get more credit for thus. Thus we thought of simply giving their information over, since they have a lot more knowledge, and it would really be an injustice not to give our readers all the facts that they freely give and spend eight years to accumulate. So here is an example of their work, but please feel free to go to their website at www.irc.org. For after being at their website we had a better understanding, however we feel incompetent as to deliver the same amount of information in such an accurate and scientific manner.

 

1. Galaxies wind themselves up too fast.

The stars of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, rotate about the galactic center

with different speeds, the inner ones rotating faster than the outer ones. The

observed rotation speeds are so fast that if our galaxy were more than a few

hundred million years old, it would be a featureless disc of stars instead of

its present spiral shape.1 Yet our galaxy is supposed to be at least 10 billion

years old. Evolutionists call this “the winding-up dilemma,” which they have

known about for fifty years. They have devised many theories to try to explain

it, each one failing after a brief period of popularity.

The same “winding-up” dilemma also applies to

other galaxies. For the last few decades the favored

attempt to resolve the puzzle has been a complex

theory called “density waves.”1 The theory has

conceptual problems, has to be arbitrarily and very

finely tuned, and has been called into serious

question by the Hubble Space Telescope’s discovery

of very detailed spiral structure in the central

hub of the “Whirlpool” galaxy, M51.2

2. Too few supernova remnants.

According to astronomical observations, galaxies

like our own experience about one supernova (a

violently-exploding star) every 25 years. The gas

and dust remnants from such explosions (like the Crab Nebula) expand outward

rapidly and should remain visible for over a million years. Yet the nearby parts of

our galaxy in which we could observe such gas and dust shells contain only about

200 supernova remnants. That number is consistent with only about 7,000 years

worth of supernovas.3

3. Comets disintegrate too quickly.

According to evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar

system, about five billion years. Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses

so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000

years. Many comets have typical ages of less than 10,000 years.4 Evolutionists

explain this discrepancy by assuming that (a) comets come from an unobserved

spherical “Oort cloud” well beyond the orbit of Pluto, (b) improbable gravitational

interactions with infrequently passing stars often knock comets into the solar system,

and (c) other improbable interactions with planets slow down the incoming comets

often enough to account for the hundreds of comets observed.5 So far, none of these

assumptions has been substantiated either by observations or realistic calculations.

Lately, there has been much talk of the “Kuiper Belt,” a disc of supposed comet

sources lying in the plane of the solar system just outside the orbit of Pluto. Some

asteroid-sized bodies of ice exist in that location, but they do not solve the evolutionists’

problem, since according to evolutionary theory, the Kuiper Belt would quickly

become exhausted if there were no Oort cloud to supply it.

4. Not enough mud on the sea floor.

Each year, water and winds erode about 20 billion tons of dirt and rock from the

continents and deposit it in the ocean.6 This material accumulates as loose sediment

on the hard basaltic (lava-formed) rock of the ocean floor. The average depth of all

the sediment in the whole ocean is less than 400 meters.7 The main way known to

remove the sediment from the ocean floor is by plate tectonic subduction. That is,

sea floor slides slowly (a few cm/year) beneath the continents, taking some sediment

with it. According to secular scientific literature, that process presently

removes only 1 billion tons per year.7 As far as anyone knows, the other 19 billion

tons per year simply accumulate. At that rate, erosion would deposit the present

mass of sediment in less than 12 million years. Yet according to evolutionary

theory, erosion and plate subduction have been going on as long as the oceans have

existed, an alleged three billion years. If that were so, the rates above imply that the

oceans would be massively choked with sediment dozens of kilometers deep. An

alternative (creationist) explanation is that erosion from the waters of the Genesis

flood running off the continents deposited the present amount of sediment within a

short time about 5,000 years ago.

5. Not enough sodium in the sea.

Every year, rivers8 and other sources9 dump over 450 million tons of sodium into the

ocean. Only 27% of this sodium manages to get back out of the sea each year.9,10 As far

as anyone knows, the remainder simply accumulates in the ocean. If the sea had no

sodium to start with, it

would have accumulated its

present amount in less than

42 million years at today’s

input and output rates.10

This is much less than the

evolutionary age of the

ocean, three billion years.

The usual reply to this

discrepancy is that past

sodium inputs must have

been less and outputs

greater. However, calculations

that are as generous as

possible to evolutionary scenarios still give a maximum age of only 62 million years.10

Calculations11 for many other seawater elements give much younger ages for the ocean.

6. The earth’s magnetic field is decaying too fast.

The total energy stored in the earth’s magnetic field (“dipole” and “non-dipole”) is

decreasing with a half-life of 1,465 (± 165) years.12 Evolutionary theories explaining

Rivers and dust storms dump mud into the sea much faster than plate tectonic subduction

can remove it.

iv

this rapid decrease, as well as how the earth

could have maintained its magnetic field for

billions of years are very complex and

inadequate. A much better creationist theory

exists. It is straightforward, based on sound

physics, and explains many features of the

field: its creation, rapid reversals during the

Genesis flood, surface intensity decreases

and increases until the time of Christ, and a

steady decay since then.13 This theory

matches paleomagnetic, historic, and present

data, most startlingly with evidence for rapid

changes.14 The main result is that the field’s

total energy (not surface intensity) has

always decayed at least as fast as now. At

that rate the field could not be more than

20,000 years old.15

7. Many strata are too tightly bent.

In many mountainous areas, strata thousands of feet thick are bent and folded into

hairpin shapes. The conventional geologic time scale says these formations were

deeply buried and solidified for hundreds of millions of years

before they were bent. Yet the folding occurred without cracking,

with radii so small that the entire formation had to be still wet

and unsolidified when the bending occurred. This implies that the

folding occurred less than thousands of years after deposition.16

8. Biological material decays too fast.

Natural radioactivity, mutations, and decay degrade DNA and

other biological material rapidly. Measurements of the mutation

rate of mitochondrial DNA recently forced researchers to revise

the age of “mitochondrial Eve” from a theorized 200,000 years

down to possibly as low as 6,000 years.17 DNA experts insist that

DNA cannot exist in natural environments longer than 10,000

years, yet intact strands of

DNA appear to have been

recovered from fossils

allegedly much older: Neandertal bones, insects

in amber, and even from dinosaur fossils.18

Bacteria allegedly 250 million years old

apparently have been revived with no DNA

damage.19 Soft tissue and blood cells from a

dinosaur have astonished experts.20

9. Fossil radioactivity shortens geologic

“ages” to a few years.

crystals. They are fossil evidence of radioactive decay.21 “Squashed” Polonium-210

radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, and Eocene formations in the Colorado

plateau were deposited within months of one another, not hundreds of millions of

years apart as required by the conventional time scale.22 “Orphan” Polonium-218

radiohalos, having no evidence of their mother elements, imply accelerated nuclear

decay and very rapid formation of associated minerals.23,24

10. Too much helium in minerals.

Uranium and thorium generate helium atoms as they decay to lead. A study published

in the Journal of Geophysical Research showed that such helium produced in

zircon crystals in deep, hot Precambrian granitic rock has not had time to escape.25

Though the rocks contain 1.5 billion years worth of nuclear decay products, newlymeasured

rates of helium loss from zircon show that the helium has been leaking for

only 6,000 (± 2000) years.26 This is not only evidence for the youth of the earth, but

also for episodes of greatly accelerated decay rates of long half-life nuclei within

thousands of years ago, compressing radioisotope timescales enormously.

11. Too much carbon 14 in deep geologic strata.

With their short 5,700-year half-life, no carbon 14 atoms should exist in any carbon

older than 250,000 years. Yet it has proven impossible to find any natural source of

carbon below Pleistocene (Ice Age) strata that does not contain significant amounts of

carbon 14, even though such strata are supposed to be millions or billions of years old.

Conventional carbon 14 laboratories have

been aware of this anomaly since the early

1980s, have striven to eliminate it, and are

unable to account for it. Lately the world’s

best such laboratory which has learned

during two decades of low-C14 measurements

how not to contaminate specimens

externally, under contract to creationists,

confirmed such observations for coal samples

and even for a dozen diamonds, which

cannot be contaminated in situ with recent carbon.27 These constitute very strong

evidence that the earth is only thousands, not billions, of years old.

12. Not enough Stone Age skeletons.

Evolutionary anthropologists now say that Homo sapiens existed for at least 185,000

years before agriculture began,28 during which time the world population of humans

was roughly constant, between one and ten million. All that time they were burying

their dead, often with artifacts. By that scenario, they would have buried at least eight

billion bodies.29 If the evolutionary time scale is correct, buried bones should be able

to last for much longer than 200,000 years, so many of the supposed eight billion

stone age skeletons should still be around (and certainly the buried artifacts). Yet only

a few thousand have been found. This implies that the Stone Age was much shorter

than evolutionists think, perhaps only a few hundred years in many areas.

13. Agriculture is too recent.

The usual evolutionary picture has men existing as hunters and gatherers for 185,000

years during the Stone Age before discovering agriculture less than 10,000 years

vi

ago.29 Yet the archaeological evidence shows that Stone Age men were as intelligent

as we are. It is very improbable that none of the eight billion people mentioned in item

12 should discover that plants grow from seeds. It is more likely that men were

without agriculture for a very short time after the Flood, if at all.31

14. History is too short.

According to evolutionists, Stone Age Homo sapiens existed for 190,000 years

before beginning to make written records about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Prehistoric

man built megalithic monuments, made beautiful cave paintings, and kept

records of lunar phases.30 Why would he wait two thousand centuries before using

the same skills to record history? The Biblical time scale is much more likely.31
