And why do you need evidence for evolution when you don't need it for God?

Please define "species" or "kind" when you use them.

Transitional fossils and the answer to these questions "Where did the matter and energy that formed the Big Bang come from?, Where did the matter and energy that formed the first "goo of life" come from and how come scientists are not able to recreate it?, Why hasn't science been able to create a "pea" from scratch (they know what is in it, etc..).
The question is: Why are evolutionists so dead set against acknowledging that they do not have a clue as to how life got here? Is it easier to believe in a designer or the 1 in 1 billion, million,billion chances that amino acids (that can not be explained as to how they were formed) some how got together, mixed it up, formed a single cell organism that lived in the harshest of environments for billions of years then suddenly formed into plant, animal, fish at nearly the same time, then went on to evolve (while some of its offspring did not) into higher and more complex life forms?

Seeing one "kind" morph into another "kind" (NOT species!) A biblical "kind" would be more akin to a "genus" or "family". The Bible says that animals would bring forth after their "kind", and that's all we ever see. That's all that Darwin ever observed. That is all that's ever produced in the lab today. Nothing ever reproduces outside of its "kind". It's like there's a black box around each "kind", outside of which it cannot reproduce. Dogs have always produced some kind of dog. Cats have always produced some kind of cat. Horses have always produced some kind of horse - and never the twain shall meet. "Variation within a kind" is NOT evolution!
Why do I need such stringent evidence for evolution, but not for God? Because evolution would have us believe that the incredible complexity of the universe and every living thing in it just happened to come about by random chance processes, so you'd better have a damn good explanation for that. So far, no good explanation has surfaced. The pre-existence of an intelligent Creator waives the need for such an explanation, because if God is all-powerful, He can do whatever He wants. We accept it de facto.

Why do christians use science as evidence when it suits them? It's like doing an experiment only to ignore bad results and record good. Give them 500 years, after all, most christians admit the Earth is a sphere now.

IF humans evolved then the evolution was random. Why if evolution is random did we all come out the SAME? If one painting is the same as another painting would you not agree they were created by the same artist?
How then was man created ALL the same if evolution is random?

Even if the bones of Jesus are found and ID'ed without a shadow of a doubt and coincidentally match some DNA of a chimp, the truth already hit me through the cleansing and cleaving power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit IS the evidence for God.
Why bother? I've got my ticket to heaven like the rest of the believers. We're just waiting for you.

If by "evolution" you're referring to the fact of common origin, I don't have a problem with that.
But if by "evolution" you mean abiogenesis to man was a likely event, could you show me the exact calculation of the probability of its likeliness? For it seems intuitively obvious that there was some intelligence behind the design. Prove otherwise.

You can start by showing me proof of a mutation, where there was an increase of genetic information.
You can prove to me that the ratio of C12 to C14 was the same 6,000 years ago as it is today (trillion to one).
You can show me some proof that is observable, and not the result of speculation and inference.

It appears from the answers you got the mountain of evidence we have now is not enough. 10,000 mountains of evidence will not be enough.
They flat out refuse to look if it contradicts the bible.
