Yipee... here we go. (read: why me?) You have to take my word that I will not make anything up in regards to the physical evidences I will give. Also, I believe that species can adapt. By evolution I mean species constantly having evolved from a single cell into all the complex forms of life we have today.

The main reason I don't believe in evolution is obviously because of my religion. But I am a very philosophical and stubborn type person and that wasn't enough. I have studied evolution at school, from an athiest perspective and I have studied it at Church from a Christian perspective, both side using only hard scienctic facts to prove or disprove evolution.

I learned that no matter how logical evolution may sound, there is simply no real evidence. Sure there are a lot of facts. But the facts can be interpreted in so many different ways. I have yet to see any real proof of evolution.

The main hang up is, what is the mechanism? No matter how well the fossils supposedly are ordered, or how many supposed intermediate stages they find, or how logical the theories are the fact remains: There is no biological mechanism that could cause evolution.

The only possibility is evolution occuring through random mutation. But that is not possible. Less than 0.5 percent of all natural mutations ever discovered are considered beneficial to the mutated living organism. This, combined the rareity of any mutation in general should in itself prove that evolution could not occur. But lets say beneficial mutations happen frequently for the sake of argument. It still wouldn't create drastically different species. Why? Well for one many mutants cannot produce offspring. They are generally not excepted by others of their kind. Secondly mutations only deal with traits that already exist in a species. A mutant frog with its eyes in its mouth (a real example that "extreme" mutation can occur, shown to me by my biology teacher) is entirely different than the creation of a new trait. An invertebrate species could not possibly evolve into a vertebrate. Scientists say that over millions of years, a hard piece of flesh could become a bone could become two bones could become a spine... How? In theory that makes good sense, but there is no evidence at all that it can occur naturally. Scientists say that it is because there is not enough time. This is a lie. They say we can't see changes because evolution takes many millions of generations to make major changes. They ignore the fact that in species like some bacteria, that reproduce millions more times in a minute than all humans can in ten years, some major evolution should be apparent in the bacteria.

I could go on. But I'll let you respond first.
