I do indeed believe in Evolution, I mean, look at all the animals that have evolved over the years. There are hundreds of different of types of species for one type of animal(e.g birds).
But, some species evolve faster then others depending on their surroundings(Crocs used to be a LOT bigger than they are now, some were as big as modern boats. And I mean like FISHING boats, not speed boats).

Yes, I believe evolution is what created us!

I find it amusing when people say that science has proven evolution.
Science can only "prove" events that are observable and repeatable.
I have yet to find anyone who has observed or repeated evolution.
I believe in a Creator, not just because it's my theological belief, but also because the evidence points towards a Creator.
Take a look at the giraffe. With that long neck, he requires a large and powerful heart to pump blood to his brain.
However, if he bends over, suddenly the heart's not working against gravity anymore. The enormous blood pressure that would hit his brain would destroy it!
However, there is a spongy membrane at the base of the brain that absorbs blood and reduces the blood pressure when the giraffe bends over.
Ok.. SUPPOSE evolution manages to evolve this membrane. Now you have a second problem. Suppose the giraffe is drinking water, and then a lion charges at him. Ok, so his jerks his head up, takes two steps and falls over because the blood pressure to his brain just dropped dramatically.
There's a second mechanism. I'm not 100% accurate on this, because it's been a little while since I studied this. But I think it's a muscle around the spongy membrane. When the giraffe raises his head, the muscle starts contracting, forcing out the blood contained in the spongy membrane, keeping the blood pressure in the brain at a reasonable rate until his heart can pump fresh blood up there.
There's a video series by a former evolutionary professor that talks about various animals that defy evolutionary process.
It's called "Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution".
I don't have a 10-post count yet, so I can't post any links.. but just google it and you should find a couple movies.
I believe in "Micro-Evolution".. which is merely adaptation within a species. But, this does not ADD information to the genetic code. This is also what Darwin observed on the Galapagos islands, and it fits perfectly with a Creation account.
However, "Macro-Evolution" claims that one species can change into another. This would require ADDING information to the genetic code. When Darwin observed of micro-evolution, he then made an erroneous extrapolation by claiming that macro-evolution is also possible. Even trillions of years just isn't enough time for a random collection of atoms to assume an autonomous state. Not only that, what's the chance of such a collection of atoms HAPPENING to have a fairly symmetrical form across at least one plane? Not to mention that scientists with modern technology haven't yet been able to CREATE life in the lab.

He keeps talking about facts and evidence, but he does not present any of them.
Basically, all I see him doing is using his "prestige" as a leading biologist to get people to believe in evolution.
Until he actually PRESENTS the "facts and evidence", he's making an unfounded claim.
Thank you for sharing though, Flashdrive.
