Many of you receive your original information from Origin of Species and the other fathers of Evolutionary theory. I think it is only fair that you listen to the words of Darwins close companion and another champion of Evolutionary theory. He does not specifically say that Evolution is bogus or any such thing but he does say that you cannot discount Creation. No one was there to observe the creation of the universe whether it was a big bang or a divine act. Because of that and because we cannot reproduce that original creation we cannot prove what happened. Science must be repeatable and observable to be true fact. The actual origin of the Universe will always be left up to explanation. Thus we cannot discount any theory of it's creation. Huxley, Charles Darwin's personal champion, made a startling admission that follows.
" `Creation,' in the ordinary sense of the word, is perfectly conceivable. I find no difficulty in conceiving that, at some former period, this universe was not in existence, and that it made its appearance in six days (or instantaneously, if that is preferred), in consequence of the volition of some preexisting Being. Then, as now, the so-called a priori arguments against Theism and, given a Deity, against the possibility of creative acts, appeared to me to be devoid of reasonable foundation."—*Thomas H. Huxley, quoted in *L. Huxley, Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley, Vol. I (1903), p. 241 (1903).
Creation by means of a divine being is entiredly possible. Either way you imagine the universe being created inspires such wonder at the mechanisms of nature and/or of a higher power. Isn't science and nature exciting?!
