Evolution vs Creation

This site has been built with the intention of making the Evolution v Creation issue a little clearer for those who posses, like myself a basic knowledge of Theology and Science. I intend to post on this website the oppinions and ideas of both sides in the hope that the important and salient points will rise up and become clearer. 

The crux of the battle concerns the origins of humans; where we have come from and why we are like the way we are. Its no small issue and holds ramifications for the progress of our species into the future. Such a hugely significant subject has led to the very clear demarcation of each side - There are no grey areas here. So what are the issues:

Evolution: All contemporary organisms on earth are related to each other through common descent, the products of cumulative evolutionary changes over billions of years. Evolution is thus the source of the vast diversity of life on Earth.

Creation:  Humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe was created over a period of six days, around 6,000 years ago by a God. About 4,300 years ago The Earth was devastated by a global flood sent by the God. A handful of people survived by building a huge boat into which they and all the animals of the planet sheltered. These people, together with the animals populated the planet.

The sides involved in the Creation vs Evolution battle are, on the surface, easy to generalise into the Scientists carrying the banner of Evolution and the Creationist cause held aloft by the Fundamentalists found within the Abrahamic Religions: Christianity, Judaism & Islam. This distinction is a general one and its possible to find followers of either camp aligning themselves with the oppisite viewpoint.
