(I personally do not care, Something still had to start the whole process somewhere. You can't get something from nothing. Only life can beget life.)

I think we see this the same way.

Evolution seems to be a very adaptable term. On the one hand, it implies the slight change, on the other hand, it is carried to quite an extreme change. What degree of change can we really show evidence for? And, do we see the evidence correctly. Metmom had a very good comparison. The fossil record is like a picture album. We see snapshots, and draw conclusions. We fill in the story to fit a theory. If the ToE had never been hypothesized, would we have come up with the same story? It's like being told the story of a family, then seeing the photo album and putting it together, as opposed to not knowing anything, and making a story from the pictures. How different would they be? Furthermore, what if you were told a bogus story of the family history before you looked at the album. Then when you did look, you drew conclusions from the pictures based on a bogus story? Hmmm?

The Photo Album Concept is pretty close...

Evolution will simply go away as soon as someone provides a better scientific explanation of ongoing change. Thats the sole requirement. Its that simple but I would not waste time waiting or holding my breath.
