Show me the evidence of any species ever changing into another species. Dogs have been changed through genetic manipulation, but guess what... the result is always and invariably, another dog. Same with cats, apes, lizards, etc.
As for mitochondrial DNA, evidence suggests that we're all from a single female. Go figure... that's exactly what the Bible says. Whodathunk. The scientists figure this Eve lived about 171,000 years ago. Well... at least they're half right, which is saying a lot these days.
Your assertion about the fossil record is ludacris. The Bible presents a picture, but not necessarily the entire picture. The thought is that Dinosaurs existed pre-flood. I'm not going to get into that with you because you won't listen, and this isn't a dinosaur thread, anyway. The point is that God did not intentionally fabricate anything, which cannot be said about evolutionists, can it? If you want to speak of fabrication, I would like to repoint out Piltdown man and Java Man - two examples of countless frauds created in an attempt to prove evolution.
What's laughable to me is that people ridicule my faith in accepting that the universe was created in 6 literal days, about 6,600 years ago but those same people are not even willing to accept the notion that their belief in evolution is based on no less faith then I have.
Evolution is bad science, simple fact. The problem, though, is that the community of crazies will do anything to protect their "religion" and so the truth never really gets out. There are so many fallacies and outright lies in text books about evolution, many of which have been proven wrong as long as a hundred years ago, yet the establishment is hesitant to remove them because they have nothing to replace it with. One of the best examples of this is Ernst Haekel's drawings of embryos. Kids are told on one page that fossils are dated by the rocks they are found in, and then on the next page that the rocks are dated by the fossils that they're found in - and we wonder why kids today are confused. As to other lies that have been used to promote evolution at one time or another, we have Java Man, Piltdown Man, Lucy, the beaks of finches, and the colour of moths, and beneficial mutation, which has never been observed.
I have no problem with evolutionary theory being taught to my children in school. The problem that I have is that it is presented as proven fact, which it is not, and there is a substantial group of the scientific (and non-religious) community who believe the same, but no one is willing to even entertain an alternate theory because all their credibility is tied up into evolution.
You want me to believe that somehow I've 'evolved' from a puddle of goo where life spontaneously came into existence and that that through the miracle of evolution that one cell has eventually changed into every life form on the planet. And somehow, you say you're based on science and I'm the one of us who is full of faith.
