To not believe in evolution is no more than turning a blind eye to solid science. But it is America, after all, and everyone has a right to choose to be ignorant if they wish.

Mendel proved that changes occur as a result of cross breeding.
Darwin drew a set of pictures of animal life on an isolated island.
As for picking up genes or laying them down again- who is to say it is not the same as speculation about simple cells being a host to beneficial parasites?
That just means we are made up of cells. It does not prove we have a single cell as our ancestor.
I am more open to ideas about science than many people. I don't see it as black or white. Evolution or creation. There may have been a process , but I believe Darwin led the scientific community to side step that process (maybe unwittingly.) More study needs to be done with an open mind. A mind that is not tethered by evolution theory or intelligent design.
That is what is wrong with the whole debate. As I said, if you are going to dive off into mere (albeit intelligent) speculation, then one set of legends is as good as another.
