Some Christians have answered Evolution from the very beginning. I doubt Evolution will even exist by 2050, except as a discredited outdated hypothesis. But you're right that Christians need to do more good work refuting it. Here are some points Rev. Williams made to Evolutionists long back, and I'll post similar material from Dr. Denton's more recent excellent work: "Evolution: Still A Theory in Crisis" when I can. When Evolution falls, Atheism will also. And if Evolution does not fall, Western Atheism never will. That's absolutely true. Evolution is the single most potent attack on Christianity that's ever been devised.
Here is the excerpt: "Of many species small and large, we have many fossils preserved but no transitional forms. The archæopteryx, a bird with a feathered tail, is the only alleged transitional form between the reptiles and the birds. Only two specimens of this same animal have been found. This could easily be an exceptional species of created birds differing no more from the normal bird than the ostrich or humming bird. If there were transitional forms we ought to have them by the millions. No transitional forms have been found between reptiles and mammals; and we have seen that there are no reliable forms between man and mammals. The numerous missing links make a chain impossible. Evolution is not simply growth or change, but the development of all species from one germ."
