Man, what smug arrogance. I happen to think that evolution explains genesis quite well, thank you.

Evolution is a fact, get over it. Get out of your stone age hunter's cave and see the blindind light.
You've been let down by your educational system, that's all

You try to establish a certain up front credit quoting some pseudo scientifical gibbering. That won't change facts you don't recognize.

GI. Evolution (and the entire process of natural selection) is demonstrated by correlating similarities in genomes across species from bacteria to plants and animals. The entire process is written in the genomes of living beings.

You are wrong. This is not dogma. This is evidence plain to see.

Homology, should structurally homologous organisms also not be homologous in patterns of embryological developement? Evidence shows this is not the case. Evidence also shows that homologous structures are coded for by completely different genes. How does that support your claims? Also, we could say that the human hand is homologous with the human foot but one has not evolved from the other!

I was not even beginning to address structural homology. I was speaking to sequence homology. That is where the entire process of evolution is WRITTEN for anyone to read. The notion that evolution is some theory with no support is false. The history of the process of random mutation and selection is described by the proximity of genomes of all life.

There is no question about it. Sequence homology describes evolution. That HIGH level structural homology of a multi-cellular system is highly complex and chaotic/divergent is something that is NOT surprising given what we know about the behavior of complex systems arising from simple underlying rules (see cellular automaton).

Developmental processes are quite a complex process while protein structure and function are very clearly conserved across species in many ways. Take one gene sequence for a protein in one organism and compare it to the homologous sequence in many others and you will find that the sequence diverges by random mutations from creature to creature.

The more important the protein to the animal's function, the more conserved (i.e. the gene is less tolerant of mutation). The more divergent the genes, the longer it was before the organism shared a common ancestor.

This isn't fossil digging. This is statistical genetics on decoded genomes of creatures.

So either the god that did creation made it look exactly like evolution is what happened or EVOLUTION IS WHAT HAPPENED. Either way, there was no intelligent hand in the process. There was/is only adaption to the pressures of the environment through natural selection and competition.

Fact.
