There will always be arguments on both sides as to why these issues are true or untrue.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to get into a "pissing match" about education, I am just tired of people assuming that, because I don't believe in evolution, that somehow I am uneducated or don't "understand" things like geology and biology...as someone implied was the case. It was my education in geology that brought me to my beliefs about creationism, not the other way around, as some might (and have) assume. I am also tired of hearing people who have little or no "education" in science making comments like they know what they are talking about...when in reality, all they know is what they were told on certain tv channels. I have no problems whatsoever if people want to believe in evolution. It just gets a little tiresome when those people say that my ideas and opinions are "silly" and "irresponsible" just because I have a different worldview. I believe in a God that I cannot see, and believe in a creaiton I was not present to witness...evolutionists believe in a Big Bang they did not witness and evolution that they cannot see happening. Both require faith. So why is my viewpoint "silly" and theirs is rational? Personally, I don't really expect anything different from them, but it would just be nice if they were as willing to at least consider our point of view, rather than just dismissing it out of hand.
