First of all, the creatures had to be made from something. So first they made up this theory about dust in space that attached to each other and became planets. That was debunked so they invented the Big Bang theory:
A big nothingness is floating through space. The nothingness gets bunched up so tightly that it explodes and blows itself into hydrogen gas. During the explosion the laws of nature invent themselves. The exploding gas gathers itself into clumps. The loose gas pushes itself into stars. All the stars began exploding in super nova explosions. Before the light rays from the explosions reached our planet in our time of history, the explosions stopped. The explosions made all the heavier elements. Because of the theory, our guess on the age of the universe was pushed back to 15 billion years when the big bang is said to have occurred.
Analysis:
Nothingness cannot pack itself together. Try packing some fog into a star. Gas in outer space is millions of times thinner in density than terrestrial fog—yet, billions of times by merest chance, it is supposed to have accomplished the trick. There would be no mechanism to push nothingness to a single point, and then stop it there. There would be no match, no fire to explode nothingness. There would be no way to push nothingness outward. A total vacuum can neither contract nor expand. According to the laws of physics, it takes energy to do work, and there is no energy in emptiness. If it could explode outward, there would be no way to later slow outward, exploding gas in frictionless space. It is impossible for gas to clump together on earth, much less in outer space without gravity. Gas moves from high density to low density, not the other way around. There is no way by which gas could clump itself into stars, planets, and galaxies. Only after a star has been formed, can it hold itself together by gravity.
Aside from hydrogen and helium, which are quite simple, there is no way that loose gas in space can form itself into complex atoms. It is extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible, for hydrogen to explode past the atomic gap that exists at mass 5 and 8. In the sequence of atomic weight numbers, there are no stable atoms at mass 5 and 8. Because of the mass 5 gaps, it is unlikely that hydrogen can change into heavier elements than helium. Because of the mass 8 gaps, neither of them can change into heavier elements. There is no way that loose hydrogen could push itself into a solid or semi-solid out in space. There would not be enough time for the exploded gas to reach the edge of a 20-billion light-year universe and then change itself into billions of stars, before the explosions were theoretically supposed to have stopped. Even if hydrogen explosions could produce heavier elements, there are several other reasons why it could not produce enough of them. Elemental composition of planets and moons is totally different than that found in stars. Haphazard explosions could never produce stellar rotations or orbits. Why did the explosions stop? The theory requires that the star explosions (super-novas) suddenly stopped—conveniently just before light rays could reach us. Yet no adequate explanation is given for the sudden termination. In addition, because of known distant stars, there is not enough time needed for those super-nova explosions to occur—before they had to stop. Super-novas do not throw off enough heavy atoms in each explosion to account for all the stars that exist. Only a few super-novas have occurred in the past thousand years. Many scientists agree that the calculations needed to figure a Big Bang and its aftermath are too close, too exacting to be accepted even by competent scientists. Outward flowing gas, in frictionless space, does not stop or begin circling. It would just keep moving outward forever.

The mistakes go on and on. The site I found included 42. I won’t write them all for you would likely get tired of it and stop reading. Basically the theory goes completely against the laws of physics. So lets go on.
Some of the clumps create a star with 9 planets. One of those has a perfect atmosphere with water and land. In the water there are small creatures that lie on the bottom of the ocean and feed off plankton. How these creatures came to be isn’t clearly explained. I think they’re from bacteria.
The little white creatures are changing. One day, those little creatures decide to crawl out of the ocean. And whammo! Suddenly they can breathe on land. Through natural selection, the sluggy white creatures form skeletons. The creatures walk on two or four feet. Some have fur, some have scales, and others have feathers. Some can fly, some can crawl, and others can run. The creatures left in the ocean are changing too. A lot of them have fins and well-formed body hapes to maneuver through the water. The sizes range from microscopic to meters long. Colors are varied from bright and showy to dull and camouflaged.
On land the creatures keep changing. A furry creature we call a monkey (before it was a monkey it was a dolphin) is losing its fur through natural selection. (I call it mange) It’s brow shrinks in and loses its tail. It gets smarter all the time. It develops speech to communicate with other changing monkeys. So on and so on and it became you and me.
The rest of the monkeys stay the same. (Maybe they fell in a river and froze while this was happening then global warming melted the ice and the monkeys lived again.)
Charles Darwin didn’t like his theory either-
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amount of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree.... the belief that an organ as perfect as the eye could have been formed by natural selection is more than enough to stagger anyone."
Charles Darwin also made the following comical statement in the first edition of his "Origin of Species", but was hastily deleted from all subsequent editions -
"I see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their habitats, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
Charles Darwin also admitted -
"I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion out of them!"
Top-flight scientists have something to tell you about evolution. These kind of statements will never be found in the popular magazines, beside gorgeous paintings of ape-man and Big Bangs and solemn pronouncements about millions of years for this rock and that fish. Instead they are generally reserved only for professional books and journals.
Most scientists are working in very narrow fields; they do not see the overall picture, and assume, even though their field does not prove evolution, that perhaps other areas of science probably vindicate it. They are well-meaning men. The biologists and geneticists know their facts, and research does not prove evolution, but assume that geology does. The geologists know their field does not prove evolution, but hope that the biologists and geneticists have proven it. Those who do know the facts fear to disclose them to the general public, because they’ll probably be fired. But they do write articles in their own professional journals and books, condemning evolutionary theory.
Guess who made up the big bang stuff:
The first one was Emmanuel Swedenborg, who, by his own admission, in the year 1734 was told in a spiritualistic séance that gas in outer space twirled around and pushed itself into our sun and planets. He urged the theory upon others, thus becoming the primary source for the nebular hypothesis theory.
The second man was George Gamow, who in 1949 began heavily publicizing the Big Bang theory, whereby nothing got together and exploded itself into hydrogen, which then formed itself into all our stars, planets, etc. His little cartoons and intriguing terms (such as ylem) fascinated the evolutionary-minded scientists. Then George, deciding to get paid for his science fiction stories, went full-time into writing it for the public. Several years later, he presented astronomers with a sequel to the Big Bang. This was the 80-billion-year cycle called the oscillation universe theory, whereby an outward expansion of the universe is followed by an inward collapse to a single dot less than an inch across—which then explodes outward again.
The third man was Fred Hoyle, who, in 1948, led out in publicizing the steady state universe theory, the teaching of spontaneous generation of matter (hydrogen) in outer space. A decade later, He also turned to full-time science fiction writing for a number of years, and later repudiated the theory as worthless.
Conclusively, the entire theory is more ridiculous than my theory about spike hairdos.

Nice try
Call it petty and strange for someone to write a rebuke of an 8-year old article written by a young teen, but that's what I'm doing. There are a series of small problems, such as quoting Darwin out of context (he goes on to describe very convincingly the process by which eyes could have evolved), but I'm going to ignore them in favour of the major one. I'm also going to ignore your anti-"Big Bang" theory rant and focus on your critique of the theory of evolution.
I'll mix my critique with some faint praise. After all, this piece is fairly well done, a cleverly stiched together piece drawn from self-serving sources. It reflects only one position with any accuracy - a position that can be summed up as "scientists don't know what they're talking about and they don't realize how ridiculous they really are!" Well shucks, I'm sure glad we have Christians around to point out problems that scientists are too stupid to see.
The problem for Creationists occurs when you flip it around. They entirely fail to realize how ridiculous their "alternative" to evolutionary theory sounds to anyone who doesn't believe in God. Here's a hint: it sounds completely bonkers, and you could never convince me otherwise. The theory of evolution makes sense. Yours doesn't. Of course, I'm assuming you're a Christian Creationist. I'm pretty sure that assumption is correct, because in case you haven't noticed, no one else takes your "debunking" of the theory of evolution seriously.
I want you to try and understand why evolutionary theory makes so much sense to so many people. Imagine a "primitive" earth with no life, covered with all of the matter that makes up today's ocean, rocks, soil, etc (it was all there). If you've done chemistry, you know that when you mix alot of crazy things together, all kinds of reactions occur. Now, from the perspective of single cells, the earth is absolutely massive. So, on that level, billions upon billions of reactions and mixes would have occured every day. I don't know how (I will admit things I don't know), but somehow a very simple form occured which absorbed material around it (like a bubble full of fluid) and then split into two similar halves. On a cellular scale, is such a thing really hard to imagine? Such a basic organism (an autonomous organizer of organic material) would spread rapidly. It would be changed and influenced by its environment. Mostly, it would be killed as it moved to new environments, but the few ones that changed in a beneficial way would spread further. It is not so great a stretch of the imagination to see how such a process could lead to the development of more complex organisms, spreading and changing, eventually covering the planet. Every common tait of life - DNA, eyes, ears, brains, etc. - provides an obvious advantage to the beings that possess them, explaining why those traits have continued to exist and develop through time.
I'm posting here because I'm a homeschooler too, but from a very different upbringing. Religion was not mocked in my household, but it wasn't preached either. I've drawn my conclusions from a lot of reading, all while trying to keep an open mind. I hope that in the eight years since this was written, you've opened your mind to more possibilities and ideas than you had ever considered before. I hope you realize, looking back, how one-sided this essay really is.
