." Or at least RNA. The theory of evolution can only explain what happened after the first primitive organisms with RNA came into existence. It cannot say anything about how those original organisms came about."

so data (information in rna or dna) was present before organisms --this has always been a problem for me in totally buying into evolution that is not directed in some way - and that major new species just appear as if the
design was implanted complete in new members..both male and female..

I don't think that's correct. Somehow, primitive organisms came into being before the process of biological evolution could begin. These organisms had some primitive genetic code. Whether DNA or RNA came before the organisms is not a question theory of evolution can address.

I don't see why, seeing as how it is totally unrelated to the theory.

I don't think that is correct. There are plenty of transitional species in the record and it is pretty clear new features of new species are a straightforward modifications of prior species' features.

To say God directly designed each and every species would be tanamount to saying God is an incompetent designer, since there are so many imperfections and design flaws in so many species.
