It's no good arguing that evolution is false. Evolution has been observed. Speciation has been observed. These observations have taken place in the lab and in the field. We know - no possible doubt - that populations of organisms evolve into other organism, daughter species different enough that interbreeding is no longer possible with parent species. Evolution is an established fact, full stop. It factual in very much the same way that rainwater, wood, and slightly toasted bagels are factual.
The only people left who are misguided enough to rail against evolution are nitwits who don't understand what evolution is or does, and who read critiques of evolution without reading rebuttals to those critiques.
I fart in your general direction.

Evolutionary theory requires some mutations to go ‘uphill’—to add new information.
The mutations which we observe are generally neutral (they don’t effectively change the information, or the ‘meaning’ in the code) or else they are informationally downhill—defects which lose/corrupt information.
The rare ‘beneficial’ mutations to which evolutionists cling all appear to be like wingless animals, blind cave animals, and many examples of antibiotic resistance. They are downhill changes, losses of information which, though they may give a survival advantage, are headed in precisely the wrong direction for evolution.
The examples commonly cited as ‘evolution happening today’ usually involving adaptation by natural selection, are without exception instances in which the net result is a loss of information in the population—either by mutation or by way of reduced genetic variety.
All of our real-world experience, especially in the ‘information age’, would indicate that to rely on accidental copying mistakes to generate real information is the stuff of wishful thinking by ‘true believers’, not science.
Please google Has evolution really been observed? on the Creation dot com website for much more evidence which you will obviously ignore point blank, with no credible rebuttal of any type whatsoever.
Another citation from a creationist website with absolutely no scientific credibility.
Once again I ask, please provide scientific, peer reviewed, evidence for your claims.
