Yup. This guy is an idiot at best, and a paid shill is more likely

Hm. Yeah. Evolution is real, and it's the tool God uses to let life evolve as the environment itself changes (and as species move to new areas with new food sources, temps, etc).
"Nothing in Biology makes sense except in light of Evolution." ~ biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky.
I don't have any problem with people who think otherwise.
You're talking about how a species adapts to its environment. Yeah, that happens for sure. But for life to emerge from slime cannot happen randomly. The complexity of even a simple protein is beyond statistical probability to just happen by chance.
Yes, biology is insanely complex, but a LOT of different "organic" molecules are found in space and I suspect that over time -- remember, we're talking many millions of years -- life came together in thermal vents or elsewhere "on its own" -- with the understanding that God / the Universe put things together in a way that made that happen. Speaking of statistical probability, the many physical constants and properties in the Universe are amazingly fine-tuned for life to exist, as I'm sure you're aware.
In any case, that's how it all seems to me. I wasn't there when it happened, so I'm more than willing to believe it could have happened differently.
As I recall, Darwin had a grudge against God for the untimely death of his daughter, and was so disposed to find a rationale to exclude God as an explanation for creation.
Even if that were true, that doesn't make evolution false.
Nothing makes it true. The process of environmental adaptation is mistakenly assumed to explain the evolution of vertebrates from invertebrates, for example. This whole subject is treated at length by Lee Spetner in his book, "Not by Chance! Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution." The basic problem is that "evolution" proposes the spontaneous concentration of information (i.e., the reduction of entropy), which is a violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. There are numerous problems of biological features that are beneficial only in their fully realized form, for which there would never be any "evolutionary" pressure to develop in the absence of that benefit. No explanation for the metamorphosis process of insect development (and "no explanation" is an understatement).
There is another writer, a microbiologist (whose name I cannot now recall) who examined the statistical arguments surrounding conventional evolution and arrived at estimates of process time that are far too long for anything observed. It is conventionally assumed that just about anything can happen if there are millions of years to work with...but it turns out not to be the case. The statistical barriers to the spontaneous process are too immense. He was not a Christian believer, by the way.
But anyway, the point was that Darwin started out with an axe to grind, and that is a very treacherous basis for doing science.
Agenda-based science is what creationists are doing. Evolution is real.
