Ah, typical creationist. You claim there were no fossils. I showed you fossils. Now you claim they're "pathetic." Hey, I don't make these things up.

I started to reply to some of these posts, and then promptly refrained for exactly that reason. Their fingers are in their ears and they're screaming "LA LA LA LA LA LA!" at the top of their lungs.

Comparative embryology(ontogeny showing phylogeny), comparative anatomy(homologous structures and vestigal organs), the sequencing of cytochrome c(going quickly from memory here) molecules showing a common genetic code among all organisms, and evidence that there was sufficient geological time to account for small gradual changes accumulating into something significant, unfortunately, seem to have no place in this conversation.

Oh, and the findings of Mendel was the beginnings of the science of genetics, which also fits into the theory of the origin of species diversification. I was surprised to see his name brought up to prove creationism when it actually helps prove evolution.

Evolution does not remove God, especially since the end results of evolution(us) are not guaranteed. There's a significant amount of chance involved. However, there is sufficient scientifical evidence to prove that God created a perfect rational universe, and I don't understand why some people become emotionally upset by that. You'd think they would be ecstatic.
