What evidence would prove that God created? Most people have never asked themselves this question. Most will also claim that the evidence does not prove creation at all, but rather, that it proves evolution. However, such a conclusion is naïve, for if a person does not know what evidence would prove creation, then they are not in a position to state what the evidence tells them at all.

For most, the choice of evolution has not been made because of the evidence. Apart from a vague familiarity with terms such as fossils and mutations, most do not know what the evidence is, let alone what it can be used for.

Most have chosen to believe in evolution simply for convenience. It is the popular belief of the day. Believing evolution avoids conflict with peers and society. It is a belief which most can resort to consciously or unconsciously to justify their ideas about God and man.

What then is the evidence which would prove creation?

This question could only be answered if man has access to what happened during creation. Without such information nobody would know where to begin to look for the evidence.

Such knowledge about the events of creation could only be obtained in one possible way: from the Creator, and then, only by revelation.

Such a revelation has been given. It is quite open to investigation and analysis. It is found in the Book of Genesis. Of course, if a person does not accept the possibility of revelation, or even the challenge to investigate Genesis, they can never know what evidence would prove creation. In fact, they could never know what the evidence proved at all. Any conclusion they adhered to would be an arbitrary commitment of no real value to them or to society.
