Creationist Explanation for Life on Earth

What is the explanation for life on earth from an intelligent design or creationist point of view? I have asked this question on number of other discussions but I have never received a straight answer. Did God create all the animals, insects, plants, fish and dinosaurs at the same time? When was this?

because creationism depends on emotion and not scientific fact or analysis for its theory, it is hard to imagine how you can get a straight answer or logical debate out of its adheirents but nm blessed be keep on posting

Yes, God created animals, insects,plants etc. but he equipped each species with the ability for variation. However this doesn't mean that species can evolve into entirely new species. God created the world approximately 6-10 thousands years ago. The reason that lead creationists to this conclusion are the following: - Galaxies wind themselves up too fast - Too few supernova remnants - Comets disintegrate too quickly - There's not enough mud on the sea floor - There's not enough sodium in the seas - The earth's magnetic field is decaying too fast - Many strata are too tightly bent - Biological material decays too fast - Fossils radioactivity shortens geological ages to a few layers - There's too much helium in minerals - There's too much carbon 14 in deep geological strata - Not enough stone age skeletons I guess this is enough for now. I can provide you with more if you like or we can discuss these that I have already posted.

So, I may assume that you think that The Theory of Evolution is wrong The way we understand Physics is wrong Geology is wrong Chemistry is also wrong But the bible is absolutely and infalible right? One single supernova remnant is not evidence that a star reached its end, and its lifetime is something usually in the order of billions of years? So it is not evidence for an old (older than you think anyway) universe?

You only have to consider than mankind has not existed for very long on this planet, and the dinosaurs were extinct for millions of years before man ever evolved. There are a great number of creatures that have become extinct, and if we consider hybrids then there are also new species developing on a constant basis. It would be quite wrong to assume that all life was created by a single entity and at the same time.

Im a biology student. In my study, the story is like this, all animal in this world is originate from a single cell. Then the cell start to divide and evolve. The evolution tooks many years until they are so different and cannot interbreed each other, then a new species is said to be created.
