We have to take this dude zapping thing on faith?

Okay. These are very important issues here. You said in your post that we have evidence in the fossil record. That is not supported by honest evolutionists.

Evolution says that everything started out as chaos, right? And then over millions of years these highly detailed organisms(such as whales)develped. Isn't the major theory of evolution that things went from chaos and became more organized? All I can say is that before you get that powerful fin on the whale, you're going to get a badly deformed leg that is fit for nothing.And that won't survive in survival of the fittest, will it? What good is a deformed leg?

Have you heard of things like the gene pool? There are only so many genes in a species.

Evolution of humans? Our DNA is very complex! Our DNA can only be made using these certain 20 proteins. Ok. What's the problem? Those proteins can only be made by DNA!

As far as all that debate about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics,the point is not that energy being used up refutes evolution, it is that the total entropy of the universe increases! Evolution says the opposite. Evolutionists say that things get more orderly.

Lets get serious here. Many people believe that this is a debate that looks like this: faith v. reason, evolution v. creationism, or Evolutionism v. Christianity.

I'd like to show you another way to look at it:

made by chance v. designed
life from non-life v. life from life
natural selection v. reproduction after kinds
Designer v. no Designer

This in not just a silly debate by silly irrational Christians. This has serious implications for you(and everyone). For example, if you have evolved from monkeys and are in a transitional stage, and you will continue to evolve into who knows what, what does that make you?

It means you have no worth.

After all, what is the worth of a freak of nature, who just evolved form animals and will continue to evolve? I'm not saying you personally are a freak, I'm just trying to show where our conclutions lead us.

Herein you are arguing with a creationist strawman. Evolution has nothing to do with chaos. It simply states that organisms change to adapt to their environments and that these little changes add up over the generations into big changes. We know the changes occur. That makes evolution a fact. How they occur is the theory part of it. For example, random mutations in the genome lead to new traits. Environmental pressures (not random) select for the most favorable of those new traits. This is the theory of natural selection (there are also theories dealing with sexual selection). These small incremental changes have, over the past 3.5 billion years, given rise to all the diversity of life we see around us.
