The main problem with the origins debate is that Evolutionists fail to distinguish between science and history. Evolution is not science, because it is not a claim about the present. It is history, because it is a claim about the past.
To illustrate this, imagine a thermometer. A thermometer is designed to measure temperature. However, it cannot measure past temperatures, it can only measure current temperatures. If, for example, I wanted to measure today's temperature, I could tell you that as I write this, it is 19°C. However, this post will not reach you until September 6th, 55 days after I have written it. It doesn't matter what you do to your thermometer, it will not tell you the temperature it was when I wrote the post as accurately as I have when you read it just now. Even if it turns out that as you read this, it is also 19°C, that does not prove it is 19°C as I write it. And this is the problem with the origins debate. An Evolutionist is doing science in the present, and using this to make assumptions about the past.

And so we must distinguish between science and history. But this is where Evolution most succeeds at failing. History is extremely supportive of the Bible, but Evolution has as much of a basis in history as the claim that aliens built the pyramids.
Christianity is so deeply grounded in history that, at the risk of sounding like an Evolutionist, the overwhelming majority of historians agree on what is often called the "minimum facts". These are a number of facts that no historian worth his salt, regardless of his personal religious beliefs, would deny about Jesus. When the minimum facts are taken together as a whole, the only explanation that fits, without the most contorted collection of narratives you will ever see in any philosophical debate, is that Christ is risen.
And that's the good news, because He is risen for you. When Jesus died, He wasn't dying for His own sins. Jesus died because you sinned, and unfortunately for us, even the smallest of sins is worthy of death when judged by a perfect and Holy God. But one of God's greatest attributes is His grace, and so rather than punish us, He punished Jesus. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will not only be forgiven for the sins you commit, but rewarded for the righteousness of Christ. Doesn't that sound a lot more trustworthy than an ever-changing story about monkey men?
