You do know that the fossil record, field observations, and experiments (e.g.
with fruit flies), tend to bear out evolution, the changes in morphology and
species due to alterations in the genetic code due to various factors
(mutation, genetic drift, genetic recombination, natural selection, and
unnatural selection [i.e. human selection].

This stuff isn't incompatible with a god, by the way.

"He" could have planned it that way!  :-D

But we have no need for that hypothesis.
