If science supports intelligent design rather than evolution, then we must conclude that there is a Creator. However, there are many religions in the world, so how are we to know what is true?
One way to evaluate a religion is to test its teaching against verifiable facts. The Hindu concept of creation and the myths of the creation account are very hard to bring to bear with any of the scientific theories or the discoveries of the creation of the world. If the creation myths are taken literally, then science would stand strongly against them. If they are taken figuratively, it is difficult to still find a relationship between these accounts and the scientific findings (e.g. Prajapati dividing into pati and patni, male and female and producing all the offspring of the earth). The first pages of the Bible give an account of the creation of the universe, the earth and all life. If the six days of creation are understood as six ages rather than six 24-hour days (the Hebrew word encompasses both meanings), the sequence of events very closely matches our current scientific understanding of these events. The Bible was written long before scientific theory came to the same conclusio
