What level of "Proof" would you like? The fact of the matter is, there is not one iota of positive empirical evidence that supports creationism or ID in any peer reviewed journal in all science.

Yet, one can visit virtually any museum of natural history and see numerous examples of transitional fossils, gene flow, and even observed speciation such as Yellowstone Diatoms. We know from genetics alone that the two creation stories in Genesis could not possibly be literally true and are obviously metaphorical. After all, had we literally originated from two individuals, the genetic fingerprint of that would be plain as day.

Furthermore, as the vast majority of Christian denominations accept theistic evolution as the literal explanation of how life originated, I am not sure why fundamentalists have such an issue with it. Arguing from ignorance and intellectual dishonesty as they do does not help further Christianity. It only serves to drive a wedge that does not have to exist, between faith and intelligent people.
