The existence of plants and animals could have came about? All Evolutionist are saying is there has never been a better scientific explanation.

It is very unlikely for anybody to sensibly answer evolution questions because the questioner already has a fixed mental position.
Evolution as a mechanism of gradual change within species over generations is not simply a theory but a demonstrable fact. Why people wish to deny facts is unclear to me.
There must have been something to evolve from. An initial proto-creature from which all else have descended. This may have been made by God or some other natural process. It depends on your belief structure.
If the proto-creature came from a natural process there must have been something that started that process which may be a process we can understand or we may call God.
The only people I see with a trouble in all of this who believe that the Bible is literally Gods word despite the fact that the modern day Bible is no longer a very accurate translation of much older Greek and Hebrew documents. If the modern Bible is literally true and the word of God then evolution does not hold up as a mechanism. In my opinion, there are so many things in the Bible which we know are not literal truth that it is foolish to believe that the Genesis story has to be literal truth.

An aspect of evolutionary thought is valid in my opinion, that is the fact that even Creation would require that things take form and grow. Things by the command and imposing intelligence of a wise Creator would arise from the dead (non-living matter) and begin to form and develop, this process it is reasonable to assume would look like a evolution of sorts. To me this is reasonable, and peacemaking. There is no need to be hostile to God, but many evolutionists and atheists especially tend to be hostile towards a Deity and unnecessarily create war.
But what I describe is perfectly compatible with creation, the bible and evolution, but there are certain individuals who for persoanl reasons wish to destroy the idea of God and faith of others as a matter of pride and accomplishment. That is invalid and creates the problem. Now when I say an aspect of evolutionary theory is reasonable I mean only in the way I just said, which is general, I do not think, considering the fact of special creation in this sense that it would take as long as some would think. I do think it is possible that there could be an appearance of age due to massive bursts of energy and radiation it took to get things going, according to Gods word.
It might be reasonable and scriptural to assume that at Gods word and ordering, through the logos, little machines were made , meaning the smaller organisms arose for the purpose of being building blocks and builders , while all the information and process came from the supreme and blessed intellect and power, who is Lord.
Many things could be said that are peaceful and reasonable, but you should understand that there are people who are just hostile to God and towards believers in God and who wish to be considered masters of men. The idea of a God as Supreme stands in the way of their ego's and vain ambitions. In my opinion.
Enjoyable question , asked in a pleasant manner, I appreciate that and I thank you.

The One True God is Creator, so only Him can explain His world of creation and world of revelation; no scientists can explain because they are created beings.
Evolution is only a theory concerning physical things, it cannot cover spiritual matters which are beyond the field of scientific studies.
It may take longer time for the revolutionists and creationists to know better about the world of creation and the world of revelation as mentioned in the Holy Books. We must be patient, because only God is omniscient, while we are still very limited in our knowledge.

Scientific explanation cannot explain what really happened in the past. The question of origins is a question of HISTORY, not science! Both evolution and creation are BELIEFS about the past to explain the present, and both attempt to use the sciences to support their conclusions. But we have to know that science has its limitations, and also to know the assumptions that scientists use to form their conclusions. There are only two alternatives, debunking one will mean the other is by default true. So because the evidence and explanation for evolution is so poor, the only reasonable alternative is Creation.

Evolution has much more logic to it. I'm amused when my Catholic family trys to tell me some magical "God" decided one day [or on a duration of 7, what persistence] he wanted tiny mirror images of himself. Or herself. Who's to say what gender?

Of course there is something far better than evolution it's called creation.
