I said I wasn't going to comment, but I appreciate your passion and enthusiasm. Essentially, I do not see any convincing evidence that evolution is the origin of species. The chances of abiogenesis occurring are so immensely small, that the only logical explanation is that the universe is either infinitely old or one of an infinite number of universes. Both of these theories are impossible to prove. Furthermore, I believe that it is logical to assume that an intelligent entity was at work when we encounter evidence of intelligence. DNA is no different than a computer program. It is encoded information. The only force we know capable of creating information is intelligence. If you were to randomly find a MacBook Pro, would you conclude that it was created by humans or that it was created by a series of natural processes coming together at just the right time and place? Now take into account that the simplest self-replicating entity is magnitudes more complicated and fragile than a MacBook Pro. Take also into account that a common animal is trillions upon trillions of times more complex than even the most complex machine. That's a whole lot of convenient coincidences. So from the argument of irreducible complexity, I find evolution as the origin of species improbable and illogical. Also, just because evolution is occurring now does not mean it has always been occurring. That would be asserting the inverse, which is a logical fallacy. We have no way of definitely knowing what happened in the past. The only thing we can know for certain is what we can presently observe through objective physical measurements. Science is literally measuring physical variables through repeated controlled experiments. Evolution as the origin of species is not so much science as it is philosophy. Furthermore, I personally find belief in evolution as the origin of species to be deeply disturbing at a moral level. That implies billions of years of death and suffering. And for what? I never signed up for death and suffering. I never asked to be born into this fallen world. That's not fair. I want out of this. Creationism provides an "out" by asserting that death is the result of our sin. God did not intend for death and suffering to occur. These things are unnatural and evil. We are responsible for causing the Fall. But just as we are responsible for bringing about death and suffering, so too we can undue it through faith in Jesus Christ. Creationism brings about hope that as things were before, so too they can be again. Hope is a very powerful thing. The world of evolution as the origin of species is a cruel and unfair world. It is a world of despair and meaninglessness. There's also something deeply dehumanizing about the thought that we are descended from pond scum. It seems to reduce the miracle of human life to an inevitable outcome of natural processes. This seems to undermine human exceptionalism and subsequently cheapen the value of human life. There's nothing special about us, we just are because that's just the way things randomly happened. At least that is the way I personally see it. From a theological perspective, it undermines Holy Tradition, since Christians before the 1850s had always taken a literal approach to Genesis. If we can revise that, then why not revise other parts of our faith? But that's impossible if we have already received the fullness of the faith (the Church forbids the creation of new doctrines). If the Church somehow has an incomplete faith, then Jesus was a liar and a failure when He said that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth, and that the gates of Hell will never prevail against the truth. Clearly the Church had been in error for ~1850 years. That's something I cannot accept as someone who has personally experienced the power of Jesus Christ acting in my life.
