Has anyone noticed the recent trend in christians coming into these threads and being all like "Evolution is a hoax! I'll totally explain why later, but please just accept my initial bland assertion now and stop believing in it. I'll totally pay lip service to science when I talk about kinds in a couple of days!"? What's with this desperate need to speak up before they've properly formulated an argument? Why do they think that's going to convince anyone? 
As for the new guy, a bit of advice: don't talk about kinds. We've done kinds to death here over the past few weeks, and besides, evolution talks about species, not kinds. You wouldn't want us to argue against christianity on the basis that it doesn't talk about Vishnu, so how about we keep irrelevancies to the central thesis of a concept out of our objections to it, eh? Oh, and you'd better come correct with regards to your claim that all fossils are a hoax. If this is going to be another thing like Professor's "you don't know they're related! That's just a guess!" crap, then I'll have to give you a stiff lesson in morphology and phylogenetics. So... maybe look up those words and understand their implications for the fossil record before you open your mouth.
