So, either something popped up out of nothing or there is a God.
You know what? Gauntlet thrown, gauntlet picked up, and I'm ready to use it as a deadly weapon.
LET'S KICK THIS PIG!
Evolution has soooo many flaws in it its not funny.
1. Why do we not see half breeds walking around today? If evolution is "always happening" you'd think we would see EVIDENCE of this in our surroundings! (Maybe a squirl with feathers, a species of whale that walks on land, or an ape who is losing his hair and walking upright)
Because dramatic mutations like that don't occur in evolution. A more easily observed example is watching different color beetles on tree bark. The beetles that look most like the tree are being eaten less than the ones that are lighter in color. After a few dozen years of this process, there will be significantly more tree-color beetles than light beetles. This is natural selection. The process of genetic mutation is not immediately visible (since the full rammifications of the process take a few hundred millions years to become noticeable).
Oh, and as far as an ape walking upright, there was a case that occured in a Tel-Aviv zoo when an ape became very ill and started walking upright after her course of treatment had completed:

Again, speech is the process by which animals communicate. However, not all animals speak. Bees dance, apes jabber, and dogs bark. Language, which is what we have, is learned and it's mostly through transliteration, corruption, inability to pronounce certain characters, or just plain laziness that new words or languages arise.
Also, we didn't evolve from apes. No evolutionist worth his salt actually has ever said this. Scientists have said that we evolved
alongside apes and share a common ancestor with apes. So the question then becomes, who taught man to speak. The answer: The Apes. We learned, like any other animal, from imitation. Now we can start talking about the real question: Where did language come from?
3. The biggest problem with evolution is that it doesn't address the Orgin of Life question. If you trace evolution back to the very first life where did it come from? Here is were you believe that something popped up out of nothing or that there is a God.
You see, there was no "First living thing," that's impossible. The belief that there is one is because you don't think like a scientist. Life came, not from unlife, but from semi-life. From viruses and amino acids colliding and fusing into bits of RNA (Ribo Nucleic acid). These bits of RNA along with amino acid 'proteinoids' formed the building blocks of the first strands of DNA (Deoxyribo-Nucleic Acid). More information on this theory can be found in the book
Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Daniel C. Dennett.
Sorry to disappoint you, but unlike the Christian religion, there is no 'Black and White' issues in science. The lack of one option does not immediately demand the other.
Initiate discovery! Fire the Machines! Throw the switch Igor! THROW THE F***ING SWITCH!
