However, the case is that the human body is far from perfect, which strongly supports Evolution.
You see, Evolution makes changes quite willy nilly as nature deems necessary. So for this reason, humans still suffer from syndromes, deformities and aging issues including tooth decay. Otherwise we would be like sharks and grow new teeth when we lost one.
So as much as I appreciate your point of view, it seems to stem from wishful thinking rather than hard cold science.

Who does not want humanity to find out about their origins?

The issue for me is not what a person's beliefs are, it is how those beliefs are going to impact on education.
Would you like your children, supposing you had some who were studying biological sciences at Uni, to have time taken out of their classes on evolution in order to discuss the theory that God did it?
When they found difficulties in explaining how something evolved, would you suggest they keep an open mind and watch out for further research, or try to solve the mystery themselves, or would you tell them it was pointless to look further, because this was proof that God did it?
I believe we all are god, and created the universe together. However I don't see that this has any relevance to science classes. I want my children to study hard, question everything rigorously, view the world with open minds, and never take the easy way out by saying: "It's too hard to see how it happened so God musta done it."
Excellent points. There are many individuals who would like to look more into the origion of man without making it a religious experience. They quickly find out that the establishment will label them as religious extremist the moment they question Evolution.

So, are there any non-Christian individuals or groups who speak out for creationism?

Ironically I belive that things were made perfect, but micro evolutionary changes have made things worse. Every copy of the original perfect copy has flaws. Then when you get copies of the copy you introduce more flaws. If every copy were made from the original it would be different.

Well...I dont support that...admittedly.
