You should re-read this thread and put down the points people stated.

I'm curious though - assuming you're right, and 'evolution' doesn't exist ... who or what started the first micro-organism?

Did it just happen? Well, you need amino acids, and in the right environment, given MILLIONS or BILLIONS of tries, at some point they might combine, make a chemical reaction, and become living. And well, they did combine, and now after trillions of more alternate environments the strongest species have thrived.

Dinosaurs used to be the thriving species until (many theories still) their food source shrunk due to climate change so less food, or a big rock smashed into the earth throwing dust into the air, blocking out the sun for 2-3 years, which is why some believe alligators / crocs / etc. still exist from those times because it is known now (from research / observation) that their species can live without eating for 2, 3 even 4-5 years depending on their size WITHOUT FOOD; because they drop their heartrate.

So anyway, that's one case of evolution - alligators survived most other dinosaurs / species from the dinosaur age because of how their species evolved into (reptiles, cold blooded, which allowed them to almost stop their heart and conserve energy). Them surviving is evolution; they're alive now, and the other species are not (most of them anyway); that's what evolution is.

Mike - I think you're not understanding the definition of evolution.
