Darwinism and Christianity

I think it is smart to say there is a God who created our Universe. And I mean "smart" as in stating a theory that CAN be scientifically proven. But first, let us see what Darwinism is. According to Charles Darwin, our Universe was created by several colossal chucks of matter crushing together, in an explosion that created all the planets and stars of our world. Then, from the high temperatures H (hydrogen) combined with C (carbon) and O (oxygen) that created organic matter (from which our cells are made of). And then, after all the trouble of having all kind of animals
come out, these animals come to the eternal war that only the fittest, the most qualified, the best can win. And that's how we come today...

Now, way this does not make sense. First things first, let us ask the question, where did this chucks of matter come from? Given the idea that the most basic rule of chemistry is that matter can neither be created nor destroyed (without an omnipotent intervention), these chucks could not just have "appeared." So some scientists say that they came from a previous universe, but still, where did that Universe come from? Besides, as Einstein concluded with his theory of relativity, the Universe is expanding, and therefore it would be scientifically impossible that as much as more than two of these chucks would be pushed in the same place... Then, accepting that part, there is no way one can accept the part about the creation of life. Yes, it is possible to create the substance that makes up our cells, but not to store the information on them... like for example, it is possible to create the substance that creates the hardware of the computer, but that doesn't mean it comes with the information stored on it, otherwise all sand would be hardware (sand is made out of SiO2, which is the substance used to make computer hardware) and besides that, the idea of an eternal war is just crazy. If it is so, then why do we criticize Hitler, Hussein, and all the others for being violent, let us Americans, being supposedly the best in the world just kill everybody else and reign forever? Do you think that is humane, because I certainly don't. Tell me therefore, is Darwinism right?

Now let us look at why Christianism is much better. But first, if you have read the Bible carefully you would see there are two creation stories, therefore we must understand that the Bible does not have the record of the creation of the world, and the creation stories are written by two different people, and that I will cover in some other post, but the idea is that what the creation stories tell us is that though they might not be an account of the Universe's creation, they do emphasize the idea that God in a way started and guided the process. So the idea is, what do you want to believe, given again, that the brightest person walking in this planet concluded that some stronger form of existence (a.k.a. God) must have triggered the creation of the world.
