Lizards and apes, sparrows and whales, donkeys and humans, according to evolution these all have a shared common ancestor, that has evolved over millions of years. Creation teaches that each family and or genus has a different ancestor, an intelligent creator thought up each one, only a few thousand years ago. Which do I choose to place my faith in? I choose to believe in an intelligent creator, that created the earth only a few thousand years ago, rather than millions of years, for three irrefutable claims; first of all, if the sedimentary layers were displaced over millions of years there would be erosion and signs of wear, but there is not. Secondly if you calculate the approximate amounts of human reproduction per year, going backwards

And why counting backwards do we run out of people 4-6,000 years ago? Harry Morris, in his article “Evolution and the Population Problem” published in the journal Acts and Facts proposes that, “... if the population continued to increase at the [current] rate of 2% per year, in less than 700 years there would be one person for every square foot of the earth's surface. Obviously, the present growth rate cannot continue indefinitely… To illustrate the problem, assume that the human population increases geometrically. That is, the increase each year is equal to a constant proportion of the population the previous year… Looking toward the past... [this] equation will also indicate how long it would take to produce the present population at 2% growth per year, starting with two people... Since written records go back over 4,000 years, it is obvious that the average growth rate throughout past history has been considerably less than the present rate. Thus, an average population growth rate of only (1/2)% would generate the present world population in only 4000 years. This is only one-fourth of the present rate of growth”(1-3). Of course this may be slightly inaccurate, but coupled
