We are supposed to believe that speciation occurs over many millions of years, through a gradual process of genetic drift.

But new Phyla can arise virtually overnight. We're not talking about jumping a genus, an order, a family, or a class. We're talking about lots of new phyla just popping into existence. In the blink of an eye? Through genetic drift and natural selection?

I don't have that much faith.

Darwinism is a religion. To believe that life happened by accident takes far more faith than any conventional religion.

I don't have that much BLIND FAITH either! And when one considers the literal explosion of fanciful evolutionary ideas--such as the one that would have us believe that we all came from a spike in ocean calcium levels--well, let's just say it's very difficult to keep from laughing!
