Wasnt there some some fanatic creationist that were trying to say they found ancient man footprints next to dinosaur foot prints and it turned out to be a hoax? That case does not disprove God. Use your mind people, Evolution is a very sound theory, even better than the idea that we were created by some great God.

oh and i hate to know what were going to evolve into next, I'm going for rocks because thousands of years of most people's brain decay can lead to that.

OK one example if evolution is a sound theory.
Crabs. crabs have been around in various forms since the same time things meant to of crawled out the sea. crabs are among few gilled animals that can survive quite a while out of water, so why didnt they evolve lungs.
and at its most ridiculous. birds, darwinists would argue evolved from reptiles. what happened there then two t-rexs lay an egg and out popped a chicken. sorry but to me when two animals get together and have a baby it is still the same animal. even crossbreeding artificial or otherwise still produces the same genus, take when scientists crossed a tiger with a lion and produced the liger.. it was still a cat.
All the skeletal records and fossils without exception prove that different animals existed over a long period of time. nowhere is there a record of one animal turning into another, either slowly over a period of millions of years or instantly out of nothing.
so as the most feasible I think the bible has the edge. and who's to say it wasnt aliens tinkering after all there is a "recorded alien visitation in the bible" maybe it was them coming down to check the fruits of their labours

I'm sorry, but one fake skull and a made up story will not change the fact that evolution not only exists, but is the only logical explanation.
Evolution still makes more sense.

Fullerene molecules have a diameter similar to that of the DNA double helix.

Ozzie have you ever read Darwin's Origin of Species? It is a great book I highly recomend it.
I see Darwinian evolution in pretty much all life forms I see. I still believe that God may be out there and is responsible for how we evolved. Your examples of evolutionary flaws were very weak and did not make a point. Understand the concept of evolution before you attack it.
A basic mutation in bacteria could easily be triggered by some UV radiation.

before u claimed : 60 carbon atoms (the famous "buckyball] now go and count the amount of carbon atoms in dna, dna contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phospor. The dna in a single cell may be composed of billions of atoms. These are arranged in a complex chain with four small nucleic acids (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) in carefully arranged ordered pairs. Does this look like a bucky ball like molecule ???
The deoxyribose sugar of the DNA backbone has 5 carbons and 3 oxygens per base, our chromosome consist of euhh coded around 45 million bases, while the whole geome is around 3 billion bases...wich is containt in 23 pairs of chromosomes..mmm size aint shyt right...
three billion times 5, ....... aint 60 right ?

DNA helix diameter is around 2 nanometers, a buckyball is around 1 nanometer. It's similar enough to be considered as a quantum object.
