Oversimplification?
Science in general, and the study of evolution in specific, is the sum of a vast amount of detailed work.
The "Theory of Creation" (note the quotes) on the other hand, is based on the book of Genesis in the Bible. Does there not seem to be an oversimplification of the information there? The origin of the universe, and everything of the universe, in one easy paragraph.

John Paul:
And according to Creationists, substantiated by the evidence. Or maybe you have some empirical evidence that the eye did evolve or that whales did evolve from land animals that in (alleged) fact came from the water in the first place.
To the creationist, evidence is finding flaws in the evolutionist evidence. These found flaws may or may not be real. The creationists, however, have no evidence of their own.
Perhaps God's creation process is something totally beyond science and scientific evidence. But the worldly scientific evidence is what we have, and it supports the concept of evolution.
