There is no more evidence that life evolved here on the earth than there is for it to have been delivered or engineered by extraterrestrials...
How do evolutionists feel about teaching that life came from outer space? They already teach the Big Bang theory...

"Perhaps if you could produce some evidence for your position it would help?
The evidence is all around you to see.
Ever seen the miracle of a child growing? Have you ever intently looked into their faces and in their smile and innocence seen the face of God?
"Finally, someone with some sense on the issue."
Another misconception, that the earth is so called "round". The bible clearly states that God created the "firmament" or a vast solid dome. Much like a snow globe. The idea that the earth is "round" is just unproven Scientific Theory. The earth is a giant dome and there is no such thing as evolution!
You make it sound as if non-evolutionists start these threads and then you come in, which is NOT true and you know it.
Paging DaveLoneRanger! Here's one you missed on your ping list!
Stultorum--Check out the number of science threads started by Dave and then pinged to the creation ping list, where they are promptly overrun by anti-science Luddites.

"Billions of fossils, observed micro-evolution, thousands of scientists and millions of science hours be damned.
Rocks, evolutionists, and studying of this nonsense a theory does not make.
It's a lot of crap.
There is no evidence that man is a descendant of apes.
Good grief. Is this mean Polish jokes are about to return?
That would be false. And posting this falsehood three times in a row does not make it more likely.
(Reminds me of the way Goebbels would do things.)

Unsupported conjecture ===> Placemarker <===
Since I am not an orthodox atheist, I say screw them.
GET EVOLUTION OFF OF EDUCATIONAL WELFARE !!!

"Next up: Doubt about that silly "physics" thing. And "chemistry."
Evolution is NOT a science; it's dogma, belief, faith and a tool to brainwash the people whose religion gave rise to science in the first place. I'm talking about Christianity.
Your fond memories are none of my concern...
How stupid can you get.
The Bible does describe the "circle" of the earth.
Oppose God all you want and see how far you get. Good luck.
Not really...but you can keep thinking that if you want.
Yes. Many scholars think Darwin's ultimate rejection had more to do with the horrific death of his beloved daughter, Annie. Darwin himself attributed it to his abhorrence of the doctrine of damnation. In any case Darwin was exposed to "free thinkers," both in his own family, and at University (Edinburgh, which he attended before the much more pious Cambridge) and through the social circle of his older brother, Erasmus, long before he mooted the origin of species, but he remained a believer nevertheless.
It always amuses me how some insist that it is possible to believe that God "used" evolution to bring about the biological world, When asked how that is possible, they cite, "well so-snd-so belives it." When pressed for the actual argument of how this works, however, there isn't any argument there, just some more feel-good ad hominems.
It appears you haven't read anything by thoughtful theistic evolutionists. I'll give you some recommendations when I have time.
Quickly googling, for the moment, here (pdf file) is a lecture by one notable, Simon Conway Morris.
When Darwin left on the Beagle, he was very much the normal Christian of the time, in fact studied Theology at university, and was particularly enamored of Paley's argument for an Intelligent Designer. At the time of his departure he was what we would now class as an IDist. His agnosticism did not develop until his return. Although some doubt crept in during the voyage he spent the voyage compiling an enormous amount of raw data (and keeping meticulous notes) which he didn't seriously consider until a while after returning to England. The first years were spent in identifying and cataloging specimens.

Since God is supposedly all powerful, how is it possible that he couldn't use Evolution? I believe your question is more precisely - How could someone not take the Bible literally.
Easy, they worship God and not the Bible.
What really amazes me is that Biblical literalists are more willing to believe that there exists some all powerful, all knowing ethereal 'mind' that is not only capable of creating life but the entire Universe while still failing to insert any kind of consistency into the Biblical creation stories, but are unwilling to believe that mechanisms such as trial and error, which humans use 'all he time' and which have been observed in nature can actually be used by nature.
"The evolutionists are only here to throw sh*t on the Christians... that is their sole purpose...
Exactly!
The enemies of Christianity know that their pseudo science is bogus, fake, phony and fraudulent. They can fool some of the people some of the time, but they can't fool the vast majority of people.
The only reedeming feature about these neo anti-Christians is that there are so few of them and, hence, easily annihilable.
And the battle continues as it has for 2 thousands years.
