Covers the biblical creation account with some scientific findings. I watched this a while ago and I must say it's very informative.
Law of Conservation of Mass/Energy
1. In the Universe there is a finite amount of matter and energy. We cannot create any new matter or energy nor can we destroy any of the matter or energy we have for the Universe as a whole.
2. We can change matter to energy and energy to matter without gaining or losing any of either to the Universe. Examples:
3. Energy can be changed in form, from one to another, without any loss to the Universe. Examples:
4. Matter can be changed in form, or state, without any loss of matter to the Universe. Examples:
First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy
Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy increases in all natural processes
Third Law of Thermodynamics: We cannot reach absolute zero temperatures
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: If Ta = Tb and Tb = Tc, then Ta = Tc, (shows thermal equilibrium in balance)

I know they are unrelated. You are missing the point. If you can't expalin the origin of matter then you certainly can't explain the origin of a specie. Why because species are made from matter.
Then show the scriptures for creation you say science has disproven.
the earth couldnt have been created without the sun unless your saying gravity is wrong too? and the moon was created after the sun and earth so therefore not at the same time as the sun - FAIL
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
deffinatley in the wrong order of what popped up where, whales popped up around 1:25 when land mammals went back to the ocean - FAIL
1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth
1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
a lake?pool?puddle? so not all in one place - FAIL
1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day
basic life forms were around before plant life - FAIL
1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
so not from common decent then - FAIL
2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
didnt you just say it was the other way around? - FAIL evolution my good friend animals into man not the other way around - Double fail
2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
sexual reproduction over took Asexual reproduction long before mammals let alone man walked the earth - FAIL
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
and said it had "account with some scientific findings." it doesnt, he is just doing a good deed letting you know so you can correct it
In other words you like forcing your opinions on people? Who said anyone was looking for evidence? I merely posted a video for creation for those interested.
what would be the point in debating for somthing we dont believe? thats just silly
You aren't but you insist on replying because "it's disappointing to see that people actually believe this stuff". Surely you can find something more productive to do with your time. How often do you do this in other forums of this site in areas where you don't believe in what's being discussed?
see above and thats just 2 pages we havnt even got on to David killing a time traveling greek hoplite with his sling yet, or his great empire with jerusalem as a great city but actually turns out to have been an average town during this time period
Then show the scriptures for creation you say science has disproven.
you just chose to ignore the differacne thats intellectually dishonest
I didn't confuse the two as I stated before
gravity evolution puddles it getting its self mixed up and in the wrong order
More name calling yet no facts to back it up
ohh contraire my eager friend
No, dna couldn't have evolved PERIOD. "Could have" isn't science, it's a guess at best.

No, Speciation has never been observed. The very definition of a specie is basically what the bible says animals bring forth after their kind and can only mate with their own kind. If you can show two animals that can mate and reproduce after their own kind then it is what science calls the same specie.

A) Priorities
The scientific aspects of creation are important, but are secondary in importance to the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

No apparent, perceived, or claimed interpretation of evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.
that should be interesting ... i figure it will go

I'm still waiting for a response to the infinite regression argument that came up earlier
paul daniels said it "youll like this, but not a lot" waves magic wand *poof* the earth appears .. i mean a dove
if you can't explain the origin of the deity, how can you explain the origin of life?
science doesnt understand kind and sort of

You raised a good point to show that after a while animals won’t go any further. They won’t be able to branch off into another kind. Animals like Ligers will go extinct. Evolutionist have taken other such animals and said they were a cross between 2 other kinds of animals.
told ya lol
The creation account says God created the heavens and the earth. God has no origins he has always existed. However matter hasn’t and the creation account states when it was created.
we can also show the bible is wrong next please ...wait lets go back a second .. you havnt proven anything the bible proves what the bible says it does not prove it true
There are verses dealing with God Being before the world was created and the creator of all things. So yes we can show it.
an example to show just becasue we dont fully understand it now doesnt mean god did it like rainbows 200 years ago
Strawman
and totally missing the point
The Earth or the World isn’t the same as the earth in Genesis 1:1. earth with the lowercase “e” refers to dirt and Earth with an uppercase “E” refers to the world. How could there be gravity would out there being a sun and/or moon first? Also it doesn’t say the order of the moon and sun being created. I would have to say that they were created at the same time judging from the verse.
it says whales were around swimming in the sea before land mammals were created, whales are land mammals that went into the oceans/seas what ever you want to call the large bodies of saltywater
I’m really not sure what you are saying here, please clarify. Please not that it doesn’t mention oceans also, it clearly says seas.
ill avoid making jokes its a struggle
I’m really not sure what you are saying here, please clarify
light is a product chemical reaction and the release of energy
Yes, no need to invent a lightbulb if there is no such thing as light.
basic life forms were around before plant life - FAIL
im bored lets turn the page over ....
so not from common decent then – FAIL
seems to be a common thing lack of understanding willingness to deny it
I’m really not sure what you are saying here, please clarify
The creation account says God created the heavens and the earth. God has no origins he has always existed. However matter hasn’t and the creation account states when it was created.
