There is no debate between Evolutionary Science and creation; it's a manufactured debate in which you pretend there is an opposing side when there really isn't. We know that Darwin's Theory of Evolution is true from analyzing transitional fossils that researchers have dug up. The oldest, more inchoate fossils were found deeper down in the soil and the younger, more complex fossils were found higher up in the soil. Researchers then arranged the fossils into family trees which indicate when a phylogeny of species branched out into subspecies. Even without the transitional fossils, which inane creationists assert don't exist, DNA matches alone confirm common ancestry.
We see evolution is action all the time. If Bob and I go to the North Pole and I wear nothing but a loin cloth outside and he wears a big, heavy coat and snow pants, I will freeze to death and Bob will survive. We know this because of adaptive evolution. Bob has adapted himself to his physical environment and I haven't.
Adaptive evolution, or differential reproduction, is the method by which medicines are developed. All pathogens have stronger and weaker cells within them, and the stronger cells will resist a vaccine and be able to reproduce, while the weaker cells will die. Medical scientists must be constantly developing newer, stronger vaccines because outdated medicine will not kill newly-evolved pathogens. If you attack evolution, you are essentially attacking medicine. It is not surprising that creationists who deny Evolutionary Science are also advocates for faith-based healing, which is where medical attention is not given to a victim and a priest prays to God for the victim to be saved, instead. Numerous children have been killed from faith-based healing.
Creationism, on the other hand, has no credible evidence behind it at all. Creationism asserts that plants and animals did not evolve naturally according to the demands of their physical environments, but were instead magically poofed out of nothing, fully-formed. There is no evidence of this at all anywhere. The Genesis creation story, if taken literally, is objectively false.
Do not be fooled by manufactured debates. They are all over the media because news reporters are obsessed with balance and often think there are opposing sides that don't exist to an issue.

Faith and science are antipodal. Science only deals with what is observable and falsifiable. Faith is something you hold independent of evidence. This does not mean there is no God. It means that Science cannot say anything about Gods because most, if not all, religions define God as an anthropomorphic genie that defies the laws of physics and is unmeasurable by science. Also, even if gods were real, they don't appear to be....and apparently they don't want to because the "holy" books (Jewish Torah, Holy Bible, Koran of Islam, etc.) all instruct adherents to accept gods on faith.
