Look around you...everything evolves, music, religion, cars, life, all are changing...is that not evoloution?

Why is there evidence of intelligent design...in everything if it is not true?
Look around you...everything has a creator, music, religion, cars, life, all of them are created...is that not intelligent design?
That fact that things improves over time shows that man was created with intelligence, able to dream, think, improve, build on previous ideas and discoveries. That would indicate to me that somewhere behind all that is an ultimate intelligence that started the whole thing. None of those things you named or "evolution", that is mere chance. (At least I hope they are not making random changes to car in the hope that it improves their safety - LOL).
Rather it shows intelligent design, with each of those things made with a purpose, and following a design. There is intelligence guiding the whole thing. (While, maybe not music - or at least some of the stuff my kids listen to - it nothing but random noise -- LOL).
Could the method that God used by a guided evolution? Would that be any less miraculous then a "one time" creation? (Actually it would have to be an ongoing series of continual miracles.) The question is less about mechanics used, then the fact there is an Intelligence - God - behind the whole thing.

When did you ever see a car evolve? Don't you eventually go out an buy a new one? And did you ever see iron ore in the earth evolve into a car? Of course not. For a car to exist, someone had to build it.
Life is not static. Designs evolve, but not objects, and certainly not living beings.

It is a fact that organisms adopt beneficial genetic mutations into their genetic code (i.e. evolve). I'm not sure why this is hard for people to understand. It's not a matter of "believing", but of having the proper knowledge regarding how genetics work.
I can understand questioning macro-evolution (e.g. humans coming from amoeba), as this is not a concrete fact at this point (but appears favorable), but evolution happens. We see it. We know it. It's not up for debate.

You are talking about changing things. Aging.
Evolution is Darwin's theory of the origin of life. Ape to Man when God said He made us after our own kind. Ape is not the same kind as man. No fossil has been found showing any kind of animal changing from one kind into another kind. We reproduce after our own kind.
Man can't take something out of nothing and make something. Man must have something to begin with. That something to begin with was created by God. God made something from nothing. We've traced our genes(cells) via DNA back to one cell that will not divide and they call that cell "Eve." Eve the mother of all living. Science says we all came from one mother.
My friend - your question is not even close to the argument of evolution versus creation. We all change with age and time, this has never been in question.

You're mixing the scientific theory with the word "evolution." In other words, Evolution is not evolution. Darwin's theory of Evolution deals specifically with the "Origin of Species" while your use of the word refers to the general progress of human production--music, cars and the like.
Interestingly, your analogy points directly to a Creator of the world. After all, if it takes a creator to make better music and cars then why wouldn't it take a Creator to make a better world and species (namely homo sapiens)?

One only need look at dogs and cats to know that there is something evolving. The question is whether one species can evolve into another, new, previously unknown species. There is no evidence for this as it has never been observed nor is it possible to design an experiment to test for.

Now you're just being absurd. I somehow get the feeling that you know that there's a big difference between the scientific use of "evolution" and the everyday use of "evolution" (i.e., 'gradual changing' in terms of music, cars, etc.)
Playing with semantics doesn't help your arguments.

You know, some questions really make me doubt either the intelligence or the sincerity of the asker.
No, that's not evolution. Not in the same sense.

What you are describing is not biological evolution; it is cultural evolution. The unit of biological evolution is the gene; the unit of culural evolution is the "meme".

You are drawing a comparison of what man has created against what God created... it doesn't hold up.
God created the planets, the sun, our air, our food, water
The difference is micro-evolution (small scale) vs. macro-evolution (large scale). All things came from God and man has developed some things - but no, you cannot compare the two.
Cars??
