| No Evolution Lets hear all the ways uninformed human imagiation can come
up with to explain our existance.
Creationism...LOL
Thats about it.
Everything is part of a process or everything just popped into existance.
Science has a partial theory. called evolution.
Ignorance KNOWS WE WERE CREATED.
A contradiction ..no?

| I'm curious where you would describe the holes in evolution to reside. To me, the mapping of DNA draws a conclusive picture of the process of evolution. You can look across all life and speak to how closely the creatures are related by mutation analysis in homologous (similar) gene sequences. All life shares similar code sequences with all other life.
The differences are randomly distributed and provide survival value when the mutations effect functional code.
The fossil record kind of indicates that there was life for a long time and that it increased in complexity and it gives neat little things about the history of earth such as dinosaurs and the increase in mammals heads.
But DNA sequencing and comparative genomics seems to really be the catch all that draws the whole picture of evolution for us.
So I'm curious where you think the holes are in the theory of evolution?
It's either:
1) Life evolved from a genetic basis and all life is a permutation of all other life in a random manner rectified by natural selection
or
2) It was created that way and made to look like the statement above this one.

| The people that doubt evolution seem to be missing one major point that to me is quite obvious.
Life is intelligent.
People think that there is no way that the complexity that is organic DNA could have just happened without some intelligent being are looking right past the intelligent being in front of them.
Now as an agnostic I must concede that the intelligent force driving the mutations and adaptations that make up our evolutionary history could very well be the work of some super being. Be it ongoing to this day or a sort of software like map preprogrammed millions or billions of years ago to simply "adapt".
But it could also be that life itself is the driving force behind the evolutionary changes we see throughout history. I'm reminded of a quote from one of my favorite movies, Jurrassic Park. "Life will find a way".
Either way there are far too many possibilities out there and our scientific knowledge too much still in its infancy to say for sure IMO.

| Actually there is evidence there were flies, crabs, fish, turtles and other complex animals living up to 125 million years ago.

| Did I say evidence? I meant proof.

| Oh and there are no fossils of the intermediate variations which existed between different species.

| Oh and the fossil record shows that living species emerged suddenly and perfectly formed, not by following a process from primitive forms to advanced ones as evolution claims.

| Oh, and humans and chimps are not "99% similar" as the evolutionist fairy tale says. Genetic similarity turns out to be less than 95 %. But then again, there is also a 75% similarity between the DNA of nematode worms and man!

It's more in depth than just throwing out numbers.
