Even if it doesn't sound that way (I rarely sound polite) I'm not really calling anyone here stupid, and I'll admit right now that while I do know a lot about the scientific process and argument building, I can't claim I know anything for sure when it comes to the creation of life.

Evolution has NOT been proven. Anyone that claims there is undeniable proof of evolution is lying to you. Of course, any scientist should know that nothing can be proven 100 percent, so that's also not a reason to doubt evolution. There IS evidence that SUGGESTS evolution.

Creationism has NOT been proven and there is NO evidence to even suggest it, and most likely there never will be. That's not to say creationism is stupid and impossible, just that creationism is a matter of faith, not science, and cannot be proven using the scientific method. We don't have any other method of proving things yet, so until we do there will never be any proof of creationism.

OF COURSE CREATIONISM CAN EXPLAIN EVERY FLAW IN EVOLUTION. All a creationist has to say is "God did it" and they've explained it. Obviously most creationists are slightly more specific, but essentially that's what they're saying.

In my opinion creationism can't, and shouldn't be argued. There is no argument for creationism because there are no real facts that can be used in an argument for or against creationism, it goes nowhere. That's not to say creationism isn't possible (in fact, many aspects of it even seem likely to me) but it's a matter of faith and religion, not science and debate. Likewise, Evolution can't be argued as an alternative to creationism because science and faith just aren't that connected. If you're going to argue for a scientific theory, you need to argue against another scientific theory, not god.

Personally, I believe in a little of both. Being a scientist, I believe in the ability of the scientific method to find the truth, and science shows a lot of support for the basic idea around evolution, even if the whole thing is still obviously flawed. Being a human being with eyes and ears, I also can't believe life randomly bubbled out of some really old puddle and just happened to evolve into me and you, that seems a little more far fetched than god creating us in 6 days. It seems more likely that evolution is a very real thing (My uncle once told me dinosaur bones are just god trying to test us, which is complete BS, why would god lie and decieve us into thinking he wasn't real?) and it also seems likely to me that evolution didn't just happen by chance. The odds of bacteria evolving into humans, even over billions of years, is just too small. I don't doubt there was some divine presence helping it along.
