I personally don't put much stock in evolution because if all there is was created by random mutation, the fossil record should be crammed full of things that did not make it, and it isn't. That's my two cents.

You are forgetting that very few things were fossilized - one out of a million, if that. The vast majority of plants and animals rotted away after death - very, very few were fossilized. The lack of fossils doesn't prove anything.

I have never had the slightest problem reconciling evolution with God. Some one had to plan and create the mechanics of evolution - just like some one had to plan and create our complicated weather system. I don't think God sits around and causes every drop of rain, I think he designed the system to work on its own. I see no reason why He couldn't have done the same thing for the system of evolution.

HERETIC! Weather is a result of direct, special creation ex nihilo:

For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name. (Amos 4:13)

Meteorological Naturalism is a Satanic Lie!
