I believe in Creationism. God's Word has never changed, neither has God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Evolution is false. Evolution changes constantly. Because every time it has been proven wrong.

For starters, Lissa, God and His word changed from the Old to the New testament. So much for "unchangeable."
And, of course "evolution changes." Evolution is ALL ABOUT change. And sure, our knowledge of evolution changes because we are constantly learning more about it, and improving our knowledge about it.
You've already shown from your response that you are uncomfortable with change, and that it represents falsehood to you. Of course you're not going to like evolution or evolution science. Or, I bet, science in general.
The general concept of evolution has never been proven wrong. Certainly not by scientists. And fundamentalists may say that it's wrong, and false, but they are going by the Bible (which is NOT a scientific document), and their need to drum up a profitable emotional response by their ignorant followers.
Certain specific theories within the general category of evolution have been proven wrong--that's the whole beauty of scientific studies. We're NOT AFRAID to be proven wrong. We make a statement (a "hypothesis"), and then SET ABOUT TRYING TO PROVE IT WRONG. If we (or our challengers) can prove it wrong, then we withdraw the statement, apologize, and continue trying to figure things out.
Religion has no such self-correcting mechanism, and must rely on dogma, charismatic leaders, edicts, fear (such as the fear of change you have illustrated, above), and ignorance.

Oh, Booth, that was wonderful. Would you talk to my brother? After 45 years of being "religion nonspecific" he went right off the deep end into YEC. He scares me these days..... lol

First, Booth you have judged me, and judged me wrong. I am not opposed to change. Nor am I opposed to science. I believe in God and God's Word, and what it says.
Every time evolutionists come up with one of their "discoveries", it is always proven false, ALWAYS. Take Lucy for example. Someone found what was supppose to be our "link" into evolution. Later it wad proven that someone purposely put the skelletal head of a monkey with the skelletal remains of a human.
Evolution was thought up by a man who did not believe in God.
Before you judge someone, get to know them better.

Ok I am not attacking your religion when I say this, I too am Christian, although my beliefs vary from yours. Creationists believe that man, and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time - prove it.
