Tony, I would very much appreciate if you posted any link to science which disproves his word. Keep in mind, that is not easy to do. Soil layers have the same problem anything else does, how do you prove it was not created that way.
My main problem with evolution is that it supposes all this mathematical, physical, and scientific complexity was accidental... chaos itself is not really chaos, but all the incredibly complex things science has shown us just happened to end up that way? That sir, is one damn huge leap of faith.

"Soil layers have the same problem anything else does, how do you prove it was not created that way."
translation: "LALALICANTHEARYOULALALA!"
Burden of proof doesn't work that way. Soil formation is explained nicely in geology textbooks, invoking only natural forces that we already understand and can measure. There is no reason to suppose it had a supernatural origin unless evidence of this can be found.
And what the greasy poop is up with 'chaos is not really chaos'?
"Soil layers have the same problem anything else does, how do you prove it was not created that way."
Because your bible says God does not tell lies.
Hebrews 6:18, "God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged."
So sedimentary rocks laid down with patterns of ripples or animal tracks, or fossil bones in them couldn't have been "made that way", or as the clergyman and naturalist Reverend Charles Kingsley put it, "I cannot believe that God has written on the rocks one enormous and superfluous lie for all mankind."
"...how do you prove it was not created that way."
There is no proof, but there are some pretty nice indicators...
Yes, I'd imagine it would seem that way to you.
Another way of looking at is as follows:-
How many stupid, unintelligent, badly raised and uneducated people believe in creationism?
How many intelligent, well raised, well educated and humane people believe in evolution?
Soil layers have the same problem anything else does, how do you prove it was not created that way.
Did you stay awake at all during elementary school?
One could easily apply your argument to prove the entire universe was "poofed" into existence last Tuesday.
Besides, if your god created everything with the appearance of age, and with a fossil record pointing at life evolving, doesn't that cast into doubt everything he's said?
There's a roulette wheel in the Casino in my city that had five hundred spins last week.
It came up with a sequence of numbers. Do you know the odds against that particular sequence coming up? It's a miracle! It would still be trillions to one against if the whole universe consisted of nothing but roulette wheels spinning for every moment since the big bang.
Believing that that incredibly unlikely sequence just happened to end up that way is either one damn huge leap of faith- or confusion about the natures of probability, reality and faith.

Because then your god would prove to be a liar.
Besides, prove to me that everything wasn't created at 10:00am this morning with the illusion of age by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
See how childish and stupid that argument is?

I have an undead cat that would like to have a word with your strawman.
Burden of proof, honey, burden of proof.
Your main problem with evolution is that you haven't got a clue what it actually is, you couldn't be bothered to learn what it actually is, you couldn't be "arsed" to take a basic fifth-grade natural studies course while you were young, and you now gobble up what idiocy your pastors feed you, you gullible old fool.
How did your god happen to be?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
