True or Not True

I have had opportunities to discuss evolution with a number of people along the way.  I don't see how it holds up either by Biblical means or by true (proven) science.

The lessening of the earth's magnetic field, the finite energy of the sun, the dating of the Mount St. Helen lava dome (1986) to 350,000 years with some compounds dating 2.8 million years old, and the disproval of spontaneous generation, among other evidence,  refute evolution. 

Scientists who believe in evolution created the landing module for the first lunar mission.  Given billions of years, they expected somewhere around 6 feet of space dust to have accumulated on the moon's surface.  So they designed "camel feet" for the module so it wouldn't sink into the dust. Go to Google images sometime and search for pictures of footprints on the moon.  It may be an inch deep.

(If you argue that the "lunar landing" never happened, that it was all staged, why didn't they pile up several feet of dust for the pictures?)

My personal biggest reason for not buying the theory of evolution is sex.  Two unrelated animals cannot have viable offspring.  Either the gametes will be too different to begin life or the offspring will be unable to live in its environment.  Animals of more closely related kinds might have viable offspring, but they will not be recognizable to possible mates.  Their actions, voice, or appearance will not attact mates.  A donkey and a horse are close enough in type to have offspring, but mules are sterile.

Even more compelling, how in all of time and all the earth could a male and female, both fully functional and both very close in kind, accidentally find each other to mate?  What evolutionary benefit would male organs and female organs be, separate from each other?  How and why would sexual reproduction accidentally develop? 

The theory of evolution demands at least as much faith as believing in a creation designed by an intelligent Designer. 

I once sat in a college biology class and listened to the professor describe the intricate exchange of two chemicals in the nerves.  One chemical allows the electric signal from your brain to pass to the muscles.  The other chemical inhibits the electric signal.  If these two elements don't do what they are supposed to do, either you would not be able to use any of your muscles, or the electrical signals would be continuous and you would have constant seizures.  Please don't expect me to believe that this came about accidentally!  What creature could live through any experimental stage?

Bombadier beetles have two compartments in their bodies that store chemicals which explode when they come in contact with each other.  How would any prototypes survive without being fully formed in the first place?

One more point.  Some people try to combine evolution with the Bible.  They'll say that the "seven days" really mean "a very long time".  Or God oversaw evolution over a very long time.

If you decide that the first chapter of the Bible is not true or is inaccurate, at what point do you draw the line between the true and not true parts?  If you start ripping pages out of the Book, when would you stop?  What exactly would you have left?

Think about it.
