Evolution says that everything started out as chaos, right? 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.

So where did the life come from in the first place?

Yes, changes occur. Within a species.
All the evolutionist scientists who have tried to produce mutations have only succeeded in producing horribly deformed creatures that die.

What about the gene pool?
How can little changes add up into big changes over time with the gene pool in the way? There is a limit to how much an organism can change.
You didn't answer what I said about the whale fin.
