Re: Since I'm the guy being discussed, here's my 2 cents...
Evolution is the result of a conglomeration of many scientific specialties, so I find it difficult to compartmentalize it. It's as simple as that.
With so many different fields of study supporting the theory of evolution, and its many concomitant findings, how is it that you so easily dismiss it? Could it be based on purely religious grounds? That is, non-scientific grounds?
Won't you stay and debate the issue here? We could have some real fun with this!

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

You are free to propose your own topic, and make it as narrow as you wish.
The rules are designed to prevent thread drift, or as its sometimes known, the Gish Gallop. And they apply to all.
So if you are chafed by this thread, please start another.
One of my particular fields is radiocarbon dating, so if you want to learn about that either post to an existing thread, of which there are several, or if you think you have a new approach start your own thread.

Re: Interpretations
My evidence is both consistent, self evident and rational. It is the first chapter of Genesis which clearly and unequivocally states that God created the heavens and the earth and all life upon it by the word of His mouth. It was a supernatural act and therefore cannot be proven according to human standards of science, nor does it need to be since we see the results of His spoken word in the very creation which you refuse to give Him credit for creating in love. Balls in your court now...
Your "evidence" is actually religious belief masquerading as evidence (see tagline).
Your arguments are nothing more than religious apologetics.
And this is the science forum; religious belief and apologetics by themselves are insufficient. You need to include evidence to support any such beliefs, or perhaps you should take your arguments to a more appropriate forum. There are many such on this website.
Or as Ned suggests, perhaps you could offer us an overview of your interpretation--explaining all relevant scientific evidence.
But remember, not all interpretations are equal. You should admit that, knowing that there are some 4,000 world religions with perhaps 40,000 subdivisions or sects. Surely you don't consider all 40,000 interpretations equally valid?
So if you are presenting an interpretation purporting to be science, remember that, unlike religion, it will be subjected to testing against empirical evidence.
