This gets tiresome since it is a recurring debate.

The best evidence for evolution is genome research.

When I studied embryology years ago we were taught ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. If you watch the development of any vertibrate embryo you see the common evolution in the state of development.

Today with genome research they have confirmed common genes among species, with some very minor differences in the genome causing major differences in phenotype (appearence). Man is lot closer to frogs than we would want to admit.

Does this prove evolution, no but it has more and more evidence behind it. Could there have been some devine intervention, seeding of the planet by aliens who were god like, yes of course. We may never know unless them come back to check on their work.

I like the Grecoroman concept of the gods procreating with common humans, sounds good to me. Bring back the god of wine.
