The cheetah in Africa is an example of an animal in the cat family with very limited variety in the DNA. Each cheetah looks like an identical twin. The cheetah DNA is so identical that the skin from one cheetah can be grafted into another cheetah without any rejection by the body.

Which means that at some point almost all cheetahs were killed, and the existing cheetahs are descendents of a very few related individuals.

Life did not start with a bolt of lightning striking a pond of water as claimed by evolutionists.

A bald-faced lie. The theory of evolution does not and is not intended to explain the overall origin of life.

The universe is slowing down to a lower state, not higher. The genes of plants, insects, animals and humans are continually becoming defective, not improving.

Most changes in a genome will be to the detriment of the individual. A very few will lead to an increased survivability. The fact that the former will greatly outnumber the latter is consistent with the theory of evolution.

Species are becoming extinct, not evolving.

First, if a species' environment changes more rapidly than the species can adapt, it will die out. Again, this is not inconsistent with the theory of evolution. Secondly, on what basis is the assertion "Species are becoming extinct, not evolving." asserted? Where is the evidence for this.

Order will always move naturally toward disorder or chaos, unless changed by an intelligent being.

The first phrase is a restatement of the laws of thermodynamics. But localized increase in order (e.g., the creation of a honeycomb) need not be directed by intelligence, unless you think for example that honeybees are sentient.

the way you take a fleeting assumption based on nothing and state it as if it were fact is absolutely shocking. and unfortunately is very represntative of evolutionism.

If a real scientist were to pull random thoughts from their posterior & call it fact they would be drummed out of town. Not so for the evolutionist.

This is an allusion to entropy, which increases in the universe as a whole, or in a closed system. Planet Earth is an open system which is supplied with huge amounts of energy from outside (the sun), something which both creationists and global warming nuts fail to consider.
