Which is a strawman since evolution doesn't occur that quickly. Now if you're a promoter of ignorance and think the Universe is only 6000 years old, then it's a whole different story.
The real promoters of ignorance are those who put their trust in the med school dropout, turned clergy dropout, turned amateur naturalist, who then presumed to write a long argument on behalf of his natural selection god with nothing more than minor variations within species to go on. And all the unfulfilled atheists fell for it hook, line and sinker. Now that’s ignorance!

—No, ignorance is thinking that modern fields of science are any more dependent on Darwin than modern astronomy is dependent on Copernicus.
Ignorance is also not realizing that Darwin based his arguments on many fields of science, including taxonomy, biogeography, comparative anatomy, paleontology, embryology, etc.
Yet another strawman. At least you didn’t mention Darwin by name.
How can I trust a god who so screwed up his initial attempts at creation that he must continuously tinker with his project? A competent god would have got it done in the first Planck Second and let his laws of physics take it from there.
Nothing in biology makes sense except in light of creation and the fall.
That’s why I call it the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism. The name may change from time to time, but the aim is always the same.
If we lowly humans can create machines that function in space and other planets, I wonder why God didn’t do the same.
The scientific community often accuses Creationists of basing their science on presupposition, while completely ignoring their own tendency to do so as well.
How do the creation and fall explain god's failure to get it right the first time?
Who says He got anything wrong. He wanted creatures with free will, and He got creatures with free will...and all that that implies.
LOL!
Always... ALWAYS someone will come along with their own definition of "right", then declare that God doesn't meet it.

Meanwhile things just evolve, over ga-jillions of years...just for uhhhh for fun I guess?
LOL!
And for what reason?
They have to evolove over ga-jillions of years so no one will be around to see it or confirm it. How very convenient when evos are demanding proof...this way they don’t have to abide by their own demands, like with the medical miracles issues.
Why aren’t there giant animals flyng by now? They’ve only had ga-jillions of years...so why aren’t there animals that can fly like an eagle, swim like a dolphin, run like a cheetah ALL AT ONCE by now?
Or do we just need to be patient ANOTHER 500 ga-jillion or so years?
Here are the facts?
Like Einstein when he fudged his relativity equations by adding the cosmological constant to make them fit the steady state theory of the universe, popular among scientists of his day?
Like Piltdown Man and archaeoraptor?

You Can Trust a Scientist – Can’t You?

Wow, we've just met someone smarter than God?
Who knew?
Stupid would be correctable but biased, self important, dishonest, willfully obtuse and full of its self in the practice of science is much more difficult to deal with.
Unfortunately that is becoming ever more common and failure to recognize or defending it means science as a whole becomes less trustworthy.
Need examples?
No, not smarter than God. Just smarter than the Creationist's god who always does things the hard way.
What does free will have to do with creation?
Because it was not in God's plan. The plan God had when he created all that is in the first Planck Second of this universe.
“How can I trust a god who so screwed up his initial attempts at creation that he must continuously tinker with his project? A competent god would have got it done in the first Planck Second and let his laws of physics take it from there.”Well, since you know the right way to creatio ex nihilo, why don't you do a demonstration?
