Wayfinder, I just wanted to comment a bit on your article about evolution being false.
The Bible (and all other religious texts) were written to explain things that were unknown at the time. We do not know the origin of the Universe or Earth or even life itself. We will probably never know for sure how the Universe started or how life started on Earth - but that's okay! We don't need to know the answer to everything. We do, however, know a lot about how our world works now - we know that the world is bigger than Europe and North Africa and that the Earth is in fact round and revolves around the sun.
But ironically, saying that there is an intelligent creator of the Universe only creates one more layer of abstraction - it doesn't explain anything. You make a huge point in the article about statistical improbabilities for the creation of enzymes and RNA/DNA ... but what would the odds of a supernatural being coming into existence be? An enzyme or a supernatural, all-powerful creator? Which is more complex?

That's a very valid question. My answer to that: I don't know.
The Bible does not try to explain how God always existed. It just says He did. "No beginning and no end." The only way I've ever been able to even come close to understanding this is that there is evidence that time itself is a physical property. If God therefore created time, then before time existed...
I know that's weird, but frankly, it's no more weird than some scientist trying to get me to believe that
1) Matter/energy in some for or another always existed or
2) Suddenly, matter/energy just appeared out of nothing.
You see, no matter what you believe, there always had to be SOMETHING. The Bible says that something was God.
Regarding the DNA/RNA thing, someone back there asked what scientific evidence I offer that they could not come about by accident. I discuss that thoroughly on my website, so if folks haven't bothered to read that yet, that's why you don't yet have an answer to that one.
In a nutshell: when something is so complex that it is a logical and statisical impossibility that it came into existence by random circumstance, then it follows that it must have had intelligent design. It's just that simple.
If you tell me that a complex computer program with millions of lines of code just came out of a computer one day, by the chance formation of random data, with no programmer, I'm gonna ask you what you've been drinking.
Beyond that... see the website.
