Why would anyone buy into Darwin's theory?
Because there's evidence for it?
He wasn't even a scientist, he was an author; and one who didn't even believe his own theory.
He was naturalist who travelled and recorded his observations, and actually formulated ideas based on those observations. How is this a bad thing? Or unscientific? And citation for the last bit, please.
If we evolved from apes, then why are there still apes?
If whales evolved from mammals, why are there still mammals? If dogs evolved from vertebrates, why are there still vertebrates? If apple trees evolved from plants, how are there still plants? See how much sense those statements make? Yours makes as much sense.
Why isn't there a cross species jump anywhere in the fossil record?
Really? I thought the issues was lack of transitional forms at every single increment.
It doesn't even make logical sense to believe in evolution when one looks at the mathematical probability.
Actually, given certain conditions, I'd argue that it's a mathematical certainty.
For example, take a relatively simple 200 component organism. That organism would require 200 successive and successful mutations.
Why is that a requirement? More importantly, we know there are a certain amount of mutations per generation. Most are what you could consider neutral, with some 'good' and some 'bad' (relatively speaking). Furthermore, why would there need to be a time limit for the mutations to happen? Evolution doesn't follow a calendar. It's all about what mutations are in play and natural selection.
The chances of that happening are 1 in 10 to the 60th power.
Oh, probability! You must really know what you're talking about.
Borel's Law states that anything with a probability more than 1 in 10 to the 50th power is mathematically absurd and has a zero chance of ever happening.
Except you haven't even backed up your claims. Not that they make sense.
That's just a simple organism, nothing like the extremely complex organisms that human are.
You don't understand evolution. Maybe take a basic course in biology and genetics.
This is what I meant when I said that it takes more faith to not believe in God (thus believing in evolution) than it does to believe in Him.
A) You make faith sound like a bad thing. Is it?
B) Belief in God and acceptance of evolution have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
