God is bullsh*t.
But evolution fails to explain the millions of various creatures on earth. You have to consider:
1) Their would have to be millions of ideal conditions to have existed over millions of years for life to exist as a single cell and to "evolve" into other organisms. We all know how fragile life - you don't get enough energy in the form of food, water, or air - you're dead.
2) All so called examples of speciation are contentious. They are extremely rare and when they supposedly occur, it hardly seems like a new species is created. More like the same species with some slight changes. The fruitfly link posted in this thread is a good example of how we try to stretch the truth about findings to support the theory. And within the scientific community their is no agreement yet as to whether it occurs or not.
3) Much of the evidence that supports evolution can be used to support an alternate theory. That creatures as they exist today always existed in their current form. Whatever bones you find may be abberations or may be of species that died out long ago completely unrelated to those that exist today. What we do know is that man has been in his current form for thousands of years.
4) Evolutionary theory is supported for scientific as well as political reasons. We could bomb every other nation on earth tomorrow to have full control on earth, and at the end declare that it's an example of "the survival of the fittest" as a weak way to justify our actions. If you believe that you're somehow superior than others by virtue of evolution, you can sleep at night even if you're actually brutalizing your equals.
5) Looking out your front door and observing not only the millions of animals (birds, insects, germs, beasts, trees) and the trillions of cells it takes to make each one, but also the natural balance of things (predator/prey), one has to put their sheer faith in evolution theory because no amount of evidence thus far can allow an impartial mind to accept that a handful of cells that magically appeared led to the grandeur of life we see on earth.
6) Many examples of "evolution" are actually only examples of natural selection or recessive mutations that are passed off as evolution. Evolution is a positive force not a negative one. When they breed dogs to the point where they can hardly breed on their own, that's not an example of evolution. If everything evolved in that manner there would be no life on earth.
