to be fair I don’t see the research itself favoring evolution over creationism in any sense, which is notable because of course the poster mentioned atheism, it’s just that we have a desire and tendency to take research and turn it into a story, when really all the research we don’t have is so strikingly vast that it makes it kind of silly to craft an ongoing story based on such tiny amounts of data, but it’s human nature and fun, but leaning into it too much forgets that one new discovery can toss the entire story, science just isn’t meant for building confident origin narratives for that reason, it’s a very tiny scoped view of things on purpose, by the very nature of the scientific method

example: based on our limited understanding all we can seem to confirm so far is that there was a sort of “big bang” but that doesn’t mean a “big bang” is all there was, not by a long shot
