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 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.

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.

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

The real problem we have is that the government runs the public schools. Since they run the schools and since the country by decree of the USSC has sharply separated church and state Parents are not happy. Society is not happy. Power has been taken from the people. Sending your children to school is mandated by the government, everyone is taxed to support these schools that many are unhappy with. The problem can be solved with a good dose of democracy. Let vouchers flourish. Let partents have back to power to choose where to send their children to school or to homeschool. Let schoold of many types develop and lets the parents choose. The church state line should be drawn with the parents with said voucher in their hands. The system as it is now is unfair. The rich can choose religious schools for their children. The rich liberals can send their children to red diaper baby schools that are still open. The every day person does not have the same choice.

This is so ridiculous. All of the examples provided in your post are hybridization experiments. In other words, "intelligent designers" (which I will cautiously refer to as "scientists") mechanically combine genetic pairs to create an unexpected result which is then labelled as a successful mutation --many of which are sterile?!

I think intelligent design may be flawed theory but thus far, most attacks, like this one make no sense.

We are dutifully informed that intelligent design is not subject to scientific testing yet this is precisely the kind of testing that science continually does. Forensics science examines apparently accidental or random events and attempts to assess whether they could have been "intentional." Many scientific studies are dedicated to showing how events are not random but in fact causal. Mathematics provides many useful tools for showing that various events are unlikely to be random.

How is it that evolutionary theorists can so readily assert that randomness is a rule? There is no comparable rationale within science. Though no random mutations have been observed-- as we discover in your post-- we are continually assured that the infintesimal possibililty of such a change multiplied by ":billions of years" must have obviously created the incredible diversity of life forms on earth.

That might be correct but I find it highly suspicious that even the discussion of alternatives to such a view is deemed intolerable.

And they're still FRUIT FLIES. Evolution tries to turn a one celled amoeba into a fish which crawled up out of the sea onto land and somehow turned into a monkey which somehow turned into a human. Never happened, not happening now, never will happen.
