When we see this "evidence" we tend to think "you call that evidence?"
Actually, whilst we're on the subject, what would you say is the most obvious evidence for God? What is it that all of these American's can see which I cannot?
I'm not sure sure the universe has to obey these laws in order to survive, just that if there were different laws, it would look very, very different.
Creation of human life as evidence for God... It's certainly evidence for "the possibility of God", but only until we uncover all the facts.
Obviously the process of abiogenesis and the evolution that follows is a long, complex road. But if we do find the answers, you may be needing to retract your statement.

Where's the evidence of God on the other hand?All I'm trying to say is, if evolutionists have gathered all of this brilliant information about evolution and they have stacks of evidence to support it, then why do so many people reject it as a lie? Religious reasons?
Loads of people believe in God but no actual evidence.
53% of Americans apparently reject evolution as you say, but there is actual evidence of evolution. Actual evidence is more important than just what anybody thinks. Some of the greatest scientific theories started with 1 person for instance didn't they? So are you saying that their theories should have been considered completely disproved, and stayed that way from the outset, since they were in such a tiny tiny tiny minority (1 person out of several billion)?
I'd say denial.
Or stupidity.
My dad: "if we evolved from monkeys, why are they still here?"
Some people just don't get it.
