You really don't understand science, Jeff.
Mostly because you don't want to. So, tell me, would you go to a faith healer or a medical doctor if you had a serious ailment?

It's a far reach to tell me that I arrived from a primate ancestor simply from observing that moths have changed colors.
Jeff... get it through your skull.
Creation or abiogeneis or the start of life has absolutely nothing to with evolution. Nada. Nix. Nothing.
You fundies are the only ones who think it does. You just don't understand the science at all.
Scientifically illiterate Americans need to sit down and hush up or go to college and study science.
I disagree. All that was necessary was to pass a high school biology class. I learned enough there (way back before DNA was invented) to understand the basic elements of evolution. No college science class was necessary to understand that.
Evolution requires a level of belief. Unless you have a time machine where you can go back and see first hand how we transformed into humans from the beginning then it is still a belief that we were not created by God.
Actually not true anymore in the days of genetics . We can track our ancestry from other primates genetically .
You clearly have no understanding whatsoever about Evolution.
Then how about you tell me the flaws in my reasoning rather than just droning on about how ignorant I am. That accomplishes nothing.
The biggest problem that I see with evolution is that it has become such a big affront to Christianity that the scientists approach it very unscientific like. In other words, there is most likely a fear to dare to go against the masses and question or criticize any aspect of evolution

The academic community is incredibly intolerant of anyone not paying loyalty to Darwinian ideas, and have no hesitation in railroading such an individual out of the community, having them fired, and making life generally miserable for such a person. So for a young person to let his professors know that he might be skeptical of Darwinism ... even such a mild disowning of the Darwinian point of view is considered so dangerous among many of the professional biologists that such a person is railroaded out of the profession.

That doesn't sound like true science. True science should be open to ANY possibility including the one that God exists and Darwinian evolution is wrong.
