Still, the theory of evolution trumps the hypothesis of creationism. Would you agree?
I'm being generous calling creationism a hypothesis btw.
The theory of evolution, in order to trump creationism, must account for how life began in the first place.
It is particularly in this area that I find the theory lacking. So no, I cannot say it trumps anything.
You see the theory of evolution by natural selection is touted predominately by metaphysical naturalists that maintain everything that has ever happened in the universe, including its inception, can be explained via purely naturalistic means.
I find the theory lacking in its explanatory power with regards to how natural processes acting on matter can create life in the first place. In our experience, we do not see random chaotic natural processes creating life unaided and unguided out of inanimate natural elements.

She reasonably rejects your claim because you've provided nothing to back it up.
Deidre said that the T.E.N.S. is evidence that the Bible is nonsense. It is her burden not mine. She said it not me.
Do you understand that?
