Real science looks at all the evidence available, first of all.
But evolution ignores all the available evidence, which shows it is anti-science.

The link that has been ignored by creationists thousands of times? Yeah totally no evidence.

Okay, now post me your so called evidence that is being ignored. Please be sure to give the corresponding research papers. At least try to be honest.

There's no evidence for evolution in your link, so that's probably why it's been ignored so often.
Pointing to a link and saying 'here's evidence for you', is not exactly 'evidence' of any kind.
How about making an effort to actually POST so-called 'evidence', from your source? Is that asking too much of you, now?

Look at the DNA records of millions of different species on Earth.
If DNA of a housefly was given to a biologist, who didn't know where the DNA came from....why would they be able to identify it as the DNA of a housefly?
Scientists have studied countless DNA samples, from countless species, for many years now.
And they always can identify the species from DNA, without knowing what species it came from, right?
Because, no matter where the DNA came from, they know DNA is unique, to each and every species on Earth, right? Once those species have first been identified through their unique DNA, they can identify all species from their unique DNA..
I'm not sure of how many millions of species have been identified through their DNA, to be that same species, but I DO know it is scientific evidence of species on Earth being the same species, always. Which also shows evolution is simply garbage.

If you are too lazy to click on the links, let alone read them (or still less understand them), that's entirely your fault.

Once again your only argument is to blatantly lie. There are dozens of linked experiments and research in that link. You are just afraid it's going to shatter your belief system, so you ignore it blindly. Thanks for proving yourself a hypocrite. I fully expect you to repeat the same lie over and over and continue to not address a single experiment. That's the norm for you clowns.
The answer is obvious, to anyone. All species are identified by geneticists as the SAME species all along. Now, as before, all species remain the same species, and that's proven by their very own data.

Every individual is different genetically. Even you and I have differences. Let's say you moved to a remote location with a large group of your friends and family, while I did the same thing and my group could not interact with yours. Over time, my group would end up with different shared genetic variations from yours, right? Now just multiply that by a factor of thousands of people and thousands of generations. Our groups would slowly diverge over time and the differences would increase.

Yes there are subtle genetic differences among humanity (about 0.6% difference between each individual), but this in no way implies that these genetic differences can culminate over time to change, for example, an ape into something other than an ape.
You assume these genetic differences can amalgamate until you get evolution, but that's not how genes work.
Genes code for proteins, so a gradual change to a gene could not make the quantum leap from coding for one protein to another with one single mutation, or even hundreds of them for that matter. It would require a miracle. Proteins like titin are over 100,000 nucleotides long... imagine how long this would have taken to evolve by chance! not to mention the countless inviable steps it would have had to pass while it was still a worthless gene that did not yet code for titin. evolution and its gradual model therefore does not work.
Genetic variability among humans is an example of the potential for diversity that was programmed into our source code in the beginning.

How do you know that? What prevents the small changes from adding up over longer time periods.
That's exactly how genes work. Mutations change the code and those change can affect the morphology.
The code gives instructions for the rest of the cells. If it tells the body to use a certain protein, it will do that.
An example of speciation is the Galápagos finch. Different species of these birds live on different islands in the Galápagos archipelago, located in the Pacific Ocean off South America. The finches are isolated from one another by the ocean. Over millions of years, each species of finch developed a unique beak that is especially adapted to the kinds of food it eats. Some finches have large, blunt beaks that can crack the hard shells of nuts and seeds. Other finches have long, thin beaks that can probe into cactus flowers without the bird being poked by the cactus spines. Still other finches have medium-size beaks that can catch and grasp insects. Because they are isolated, the birds don’t breed with one another and have therefore developed into unique species with unique characteristics. This is called allopatric speciation.

And after small changes over millions of years, you're going to have some pretty drastic differences between animals with the same ancestors.
But we have seen in the lab setting that there are particular bounds that prevent an organism from changing into another organism. Birds remain birds.
Take for example antibiotic resistance in microbes. This was originally thought to be proof of evolution, but they observed one consistent flaw with this postulate - the microbes would always return to baseline state once the antibiotic was removed from the population. This demonstrated they were not evolving, but instead adapting with mechanisms already present in their genetic code. This is now known as epigenetics, and it is inheritable. But these epigenetic alterations can only reach so far, because they work by turning up or down already-existent genes in the genome.
It is only a matter of time until scientists realize this theory is out-dated. But people's jobs rely on its validity so it may take a while for them to admit they are wrong.

Your rambling are incoherent. The species classification isn't exact, it's arbitrary depending on your reference point. If I compared a human today to a human 200,000 years ago there would be a lot of differences, but likely they are the still same species. If you go back 400,000 they could be classified as different species. But if you were to say start with the one in the middle, they could be genetically compatible with both the species today and the one from 400,000 years ago and technically classified under the same species name.
You are confusing genetic variables present, within each one, single species, itself.
Adaptation.
Same species, as before.

I'm not confusing anything.
