I am a Christian, but I must say that the evidence is compelling. The theory of evolution does make sense and can be modelled. Much of what we see in the natural world and animal behaviour can be predicted by evolution theory. There are always going to be disputes and disagreements among scientists, but that's how science works.
Nevertheless, the way it has turned out can be part of God's plan and the central message of Christianity isn't dimmed by the fact we evolved.
Don't cling on to the word Theory in an attempt to discredit evolution. In the scientific sense it doesn't mean the same thing as it does in casual use. The more definitive word Law cannot be applied to anything but the most fundemental rules of nature. Even then Newton's Laws though have been modified by Einstein's 'theories'

The only argument I could find again evolution is " missing links " These are gaps in the knowledge time line of evolution that connects modern man with apes.
Creationists would argue that the "missing links" don't exists at all, because man is not related to ape.
Evolutionist would argue that the more time we devote to finding fossil records, the more these " missing links " are filled. Finding the entire course of man's evolution is simply a matter of time.
Now, I got this link for a site that uses the Krylon Paint symbol as an official stamp, so I don't know how good it is. Best wishes.

There is no scientific evidence suggesting that any natural process other than biological evolution is responsible for the observed fact that species have replaced earlier species ever since life appeared on Earth. Similarly there is no scientirfic evidence to suggest that anything other than the exstence of atoms is responsible for the observed behavior of chemical substances. Still, no-one has ever seen an atom, so we don't really "know" that they exist. That's why that branch of scientific study is called "atomic theory".
Until alternative scientific theories are offered which explain such observed effects equally well or better, evolutionary theory and atomic theory remain the best available explanations. That's how science works.

When the King of Neptune, Mr. Konginaptious, came down to Earth in the year 1966 to give me the evidence he said "Go thou and hold this evidence until Friday, October 13, 2006 at which time there will be something called "Answers" on Yahoo and you will understand this all later, and lo give the answer therein. Amen" So here is the proof: There were seven clokers at the time the theory of evolution first appeared. These clokers were fake. All the research is based on these clokers. In fact the clokers hid seven erongiels which had within their lids some scrolls which were additions to the holy Bible wherein Jesus disputed the theory of evolution.

I would have to ask where the transitional species were. And if all life on earth evolved from one source, at what point in our biological evolution did we cease to be oviparous and become viviparous (egg laying vs. live birth). The definition of a species is an organism that can breed and produce fertile offspring. The extinction of a species is only proof that a species that was once here has died off. Probably making it easier for another species that shared the same niche to thrive.
On one hand scientists claim that over the course of several billion years countless thousands of happy coincidences occurred and now here we are chatting on yahoo. Those who believe in intelligent design conclude that the universe and all that it contains were created by a supreme being and now here we are chatting on yahoo.

The existence of people like Jeanne refutes evolution as far as I see it.

Absolutely none. As with Intelligent design. There is no proof either way as these are the two biggest and most debated theories currently.

N/A. Sorry, evolution is accepted by virtually all of the scientific community.

Evolution defies the 2nd law of thermodynamics as it is based on randomness to order.

noses and monkey thumbs, dude--monkey thumbs are an extension of their wrist, no animal has a true opposable thumb, and no animal has a nose seperate from it's mouth--they all have muzzles--also the evolutionary chain has a lot of missing links, so we have to accept it on faith that all these creatures existed without leaving behind any physical evidence--no bog mummies or fossils at all, which is highly improbable
