1. Evolution REQUIRES BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF years for it to even be remotely plausible.

What do you mean by "remotely plausible"?

2. Evolution IS the gradual changing/EVOLVING over eons and eons from lower, simpler, worse to higher, more complex, better organisms, which many sources say repeatedly is by RANDOM CHANCE, AND WITHOUT A GOD/HIGHER POWER INTIMATELY DIRECTING each step and each facet. Many rightly call this an ACCIDENT.

The theory of evolution does not claim that no deities were involved in the process. This is impossible, as it is not possible for any scientific theory to rule out divine intervention.

3. That the geological record, fossil record and DNA evidence do NOT support the theory of evolution.

You are simply wrong. The fossil record demonstrates a series of transitions over time. The geological record has never contradicted the theory of evolution -- if you disagree, please provide specific claims with references to support the assertion. DNA evidence has reconfirmed already established lineages of common descent, showing viral insertions in species previously established to be closely related. Please explain why you believe that DNA evidence does not support the theory of evolution.

. That Evolution DOES include the origin of the universe, the first matter/energy, and the first LIFE/living organism.

You are simply wrong. The theory of evolution does not address these events.

. I've given links, books, personal, eye-witness accounts and quotes from dictionaries and encyclopedia to support every word I posted.

You are again wrong. You dishonestly doctored the dictionary definition and ignored that the encyclopaedia definiton was defining "evolution" as a general word, but also stated the "theory of evolution" which did not include mention of the formation of the universe or the origin of the first life forms. You are engaging in the fallacy of equivocation. You have presented quotes allegedly from George Washington, John Adams and Patrick Henry but the only source that you offered for them offered no evidence that the quotes were accurate. You provided a list of general links, but you have made no specific arguments against the theory of evolution that were not exposed as false. You claimed that radiocarbon testing resulted in a date of "millions" of years, but such a result is demonstratably impossible, because carbon dating can never give such an age, even for something that is actually millions of years old.

If the universe was designed with a purpose, how would this effect the current theory of evolution?
