Take the age of the earth, for example. Observational science has proven that sedimentary rock layers can be deposited slowly by rivers. This may support the idea of an extremely old earth.

The same form of science has also proven that rock layers can be formed quickly in natural catastrophes, such as floods or volcanic eruptions. This would support the idea that the earth is young. [um, no, but this is a popular claim among YECs.]

In fact, it is easier to believe that an outside force produced life than to believe that everything we see in the world today is the consequence of the random action of material elements.

True scientific inquiry does not set about to prove a theory correct by discarding the evidence that does not support the theory. However, observable data (the fossil record, embryology, thermodynamics, genetics, etc.) abounds that contradicts the “theory” of evolution.
