Yeah...it does.  There are different species living on this planet because the genetic disparity between those groups is too wide for successful reproduction between them.

If everything on earth was one species...that would be compelling argument -against- the theory of evolution.

Genetic variation, for starters.

yes but why there are genetic variations is what is debatable  , you just dont want to question your religion

But every living thing on Earth does not live under the same conditions. The Earth offers many different conditions—cold, hot, dry, humid, high altitude, low altitude, crowded population, sparse population, different enimies, different foods, etc. so your argument, as is often the case with theist arguments, depends on a hypothetical situation.

since organisms need nurishment to survive one organism could not be physically separated from another organism and survive for long right ?

Let me get this straight, everytime science answers one of your "why" questions..you'll just return with a new "why" question....and then after all of that, pretend that science hasn't been answering your "why" questions all along?  If it hadn't..you wouldn't need to keep asking new questions.

Would you like me to explain why there is genetic variation.......will it matter if I do?

Isn't your beef, more accurately framed..not that science -can't- answer a why question, but that science -hasn't- answered every question you might dream up (even if it has answered many...for example every question you've asked thusfar)?  What exactly are you arguing, again?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We have evidence for the big bang... not that you bothered to understand the subject at all before deciding you knew enough to disagree with it. Because what could match your complete ignorance, right?

yes the "evidence" is the discovery of a mysterious noise that scientists assume must me the remnant of the " big bang " event that inexplicably created everything from nothing . christianity has evidence too

No, not really. There's lots of reasons why, and we know quite a few of them.
The real "debate" is in which one of these causes has more weight or influence than the others.

No, it's actually not debatable. We understand it fully. *I* understand it fully, because I'm a degreed expert in evolutionary biology, and there are many who understand it much better than I do. We question it constantly. That's what science is.

If this understanding is a religion, then Gravity is a religion, nuclear fission is a religion, relativity is a religion, germs are a religion...
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I wanted to touch on something Rocket mentioned, above.  This business about humans being the only species on earth -  and that being some evidence, as you see it, for evolution (or would be).  How does "we are not the apex" and -this-..flow from the same persons mouth?

In any case....as regards the above:  show me the math, show me upon what metrics you've determined the probability of all of this having been designed?  

Put up or shut up.  Modern Synth has made it's case, it's time for you to make yours.

nobody can prove anything either way there is no proof that there is an intelligent design although there are indications that there could be . and there also is no proof in the unlikely possibility that everything that exists is just the result of random accidental perfect coordination between very different organisms that all live on the same earth . other than the big bang leftover noise that the scientist religious leaders have assumed must be from the big bang event.
