As I stated to Mike when he started this thread, you won't find conclusive proof about most of the beliefs of most religions. Faith is a key in just about all religions. If you have proof, you no longer have faith.

Now, as for the creation, somewhere in my files I have a paper I got about 25 years ago. It quoted several well known scientists as to their belief of the creation. They all said pretty much the same thing, which was "I don't know how the universe was created, but it is clear it was controlled by a higher force".

In more recent years, scientists have become more convinced of the big bang theory of creation. However, they have not shown that this contradicts the biblical version of creation.

>Obviously my lack of education again, so where can I find the research proving the biblical version of creation, seems we could save quite a lot of money by stopping funding of research into all sorts of things if that has already been proved.

>Research can prove anything to those with a mind to believe the research. Back in the 70's a lot of research proved that aliens had visited Earth in historical times. To those that wanted to believe, the evidence that the pyramids were built by aliens was conclusive, to the rest of us it was obviously twisting a few known facts with a few coincidences to build an unsustainable argument. To those who do not believe in your religion, the research & the proofs will seem the same.
