If you spent a year flipping coins, you might possibly get a run of 100 heads in a row, although it's extremely unlikely. More likely a run of 15 or 20 would be the best you could do. Evolution is the equivalent of billions of heads in a row.

Evolution is a fact in the here and now. You can see it with the bird flu virus.

You are arguing about origin of life. But if you read about lipid bilayers, they are self organizing, often into spheres which are microscopic chemistry experiments. The numbers are astronomical both for spontaneaous life and the number of lipid bilayers available.

Further, there is no incompatibilty with an ID creation billions of years ago and evolution driving us here. There is a real problem with the creationists arguing no evolution ever was at hand and the earth is 10k years old.

As I said earlier, I have no problem with various kinds of intra-species evolution. Bird beaks, viral mutations. It's the General Theory of Evolution as an explanation of everything that is statistically so unlikely as to be effectively impossible.
