Evidence for Creation

The Earth and the universe have either been created by an intelligent mind,
or have come into being by themselves by chance.

Creationists and evolutionists have different presuppositions, different ways of interpreting an observation. The reason is that a person's worldview determines
how an observation should be interpreted. The Bible is the ultimate standard for
a creationist. For an evolutionist, it's naturalism (nature is all there is, no God is involved in creation), or strict empiricism (all true statements are proven by empirical research).

There is no neutral ground where a creationist and an evolutionist can meet 
(Mat 12:30, Rom 8:7, James 4:4, Tit 1:9). Since the Bible indicates that there is
no "neutral", the claim of neutrality is itself unbiblical.

My view is that only biblical presuppositions give correct interpretations 
(Proverbs 1:7, 26:45, Col 2:3, Rom 1:1820, 1 Pet 3:15). Only the Bible can understand what is necessary for knowledge. If the Bible isn't true, it would be impossible to prove anything. The Bible is the absolute foundation of knowledge:
All non-Christian worldviews must in some extent stand on the Christian worldview.

That being said, I interpret the following observations as evidence that the Earth and the universe were created by an intelligent mind:
  • The rocky planets in our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called the Terrestrial planets. It's not possible for these planets to form by pebbles by themselves to a size bigger than a meter. Then they would have enough matter to break apart when they collide with other matter. Things aren't big enough for gravity to take over. The pebbles will also rotate towards the sun.

    The current secular explanation is that the objects must have grown very quickly from small pebbles to 100 km large bodies, possible in a single leap. This is the best explanation they have. But it's not a scientific model. See problems with this explanation at time 9:42–15:10 in

  • The gas giant planets in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but we know almost nothing about how it was created, if it was created by chance. Theories predict that the giant protoplanets will merge into the central star before the planets have time to form. This is the case for both Jupiter and Saturn.
  • Enceladus is a moon of Saturn. It has water geysers. The problem is that it's not a large object and is far too old according to secular scientists to be geologically active. It's not a problem if it's thousands of years old, but it's a problem if it's billions of years old. It can't be explained by gravitational forces from Saturn.
  • Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. It has a lot of methane in its atmosphere. All the methane should have been broken down by sunlight alone in only 10 million years. Titan is thought to be 4.5 billion years old.
  • Astronomers can't explain how Uranus and Neptune could be formed by chance so far away from the Sun.
  • Pluto has large terrains where it has no crater. There must have been recent volcanic activity to achieve it. This isn't a problem if Pluto is thousands of years old, but it's a problem if it's billions of years old.
  • Stars are made of gas and are the maiden building blocks of the universe. A gas cloud in space doesn't form stars, because the outgoing gas pressure is much stronger than their gravity. Once you have a star, gravity is strong enough to keep it as a star. Gravity is much stronger at short distances. But it's not like that in a gas cloud, see time 15:12–20:42 in

  • The universe is logical and ordered according to laws and nature,
    which work in the same way throughout time throughout the universe,
    and our mind can understand many things about the universe, see 
    What is Information?
  • The Sun confirms creation, see Origins: The Sun.
