I want to mention that evolution theories are by a couple of magnitudes less full of shit than the Bible, not the final word.
If you were thinking about looking into archaic religious (=random, non-factual) texts for alternatives.

Yes its extremely gradual and most changes die off.. Those genetics (the ones that die off) dont make it into the commn gene pool/become dominant. Fossils will most likely only remain for the most common creatures, not for the 1 in a billion things.

Yez, there has been little change in physical structure over the milleniums. 
I'm sure you believe this because there is likely little differences in the skull of Australopithecusafarensis and some of you.

Had this evolutionary theory been true we would have uncovered fossilized versions of very early humans or other animals in odd looking evolving forms.
Fact is, science theorizes humans had early adaptive forms but all fossilized humans found suggest we suddenly appeared on earth with little or no variation from our human form today. Nothing excavated so far suggest humans evolved in such a way.
Wow, I never suspected that Corky was a dumbass creationist.

It's funny that some posters here post adamantly exactly how it happened. When Dawkins himself admits that "the most profound unsolved problem in biology is the origin of life itself". Science experiments have never synthesized a "protocell" using basic components which would have the necessary properties of life. There is no doubt evolution occurs, but origin of life and the mechanism is unproven.
Check out Wiki on "origin of life". There are about a dozen different hypotheses.

I have read all of them extensively. They all have serious flaws. Grahm Cairns-Smith pushes the clay hypothesis and criticizes these other chemical evolution explanations, but admits his own model has its shortcomings as do all models of origin of life. They are all interesting, but I would like to see some more experimental support.

Getting polymers to form is one thing... getting that to turn into "life" is another story and has yet to be demonstrated.
Evolution makes no comment on the origin of life.
The big bang theory as well makes no comment on the origin of the energy cloud that started the big bang either.
Christianity (I can't comment on other religions) also makes no comment on the origin of God - it just says at one point there was nothing, then bam! there was God.

Its amazing how some people can be such utterly uniformed pond scum-like mental dwarves. Creationists need to have their citizenship revoked on account of not being of human intelligence.
