Anyone interested in this type of inquiry should read Darwin on Trial, by Phillip E. Johnson, which very adequately expresses all of the problems with the current state of evolutionist theory and demonstrates that it takes just as much of a leap of faith to believe in modern evolutionary theory as it does to believe in Genesis. Johnson does this without promoting the Creationist view. His aim is not to promote creationism, but to demonstrate that evolution is an inadequate theory of creation based upon the current state of the scientific evidence.

If I see this claim one more time I'm gonna barf my butt off. "Faith" is utterly unrelated to the work of science. Science works with verifiable evidence and logic. Theology works with revelation and faith. They are two absolutely different intellectual systems.

Johnson claims his aim is to save society from descending into nihilism caused by our rejection of "philosophical supernaturalism" in favor of "philosophical naturalism", of which evolution is a necessary part. Thus Johnson's goal is to discredit evolution in favor of its opposite. Which is not creationism. Er, uh, wait... Um, I'll get back to you.
