Evolution, as preached today by the "scientists", is a theology, because they have to take their primary belief, that random mutation can result in new species, on faith, alone. The scientific fact is that there is not one observed transition through random evolution of one species into another. Even with fruit flies whose "generation" is about five days, random experiments have only produced variations on fruit flies.

What we know scientifically is that the genetic material in species that look alike is similar. We know you can count the differences in DNA sequences and assume some reasonable mutation rate, that makes the species seem to be arranged in plausible trees of evolution.

The big problem with Evolution as preached today is that the only way anyone has been able to make new species has been by splicing entire sets of genes into chromosomes. In other words, we only have scientific evidence that it requires a purposeful intelligence to make a new species.

That is pretty strong scientific evidence that Intelligent Design is a more likely scientific theory that the Random Mutation doctrine of Evolution.

Show me.

My friend, Intelligent design, is nothing more than theology masquerading as objective (measurable) reality. Evolution is happening today, and if there is an intelligent designer floating about, we'd eventually catch him in the act, because he would have to cheat the observed (and predictive) laws of nature. Don't tell me he can't be caught. The almighty himself was caught once and got nailed to a tree for his trouble.

Now God may or may not have a sense of humor, but I can't believe he'd mess with our heads by making a fake fossil record, fake random mutations in DNA, etc.

"Intelligent Design" belongs in the Sunday school from whence it came.

What do you mean by "random"? Do you mean random mutation or random selective pressures? If you mean random mutation, then yes, new species have indeed arisen out of other species. There are several of examples here including fruit flies that have evolved into new species of fruit flies.

Nope. This isn't true. See the link above. Random mutation has indeed created new species.
