      As a scientist we have to base our ideas and opinions on the evidence that we have available. At the moment there is no real evidence for creation (as described in the bible for example). However, we have lots of evidence for evolution (although there is still lots about evolution that we don’t know and are still learning).

      I might change my mind if we suddenly found lots of evidence for creation but this seems unlikely as it would contradict most of the evidence we do have! (fossil records, geological records etc)
