Evolution isn't a big storm that poofs things into existence or making them suddenly change. Creatures usually do go through millions of stages of development before a new species comes about and that's very much what evolution is all about. No, we aren't flukes. We are survivors.
As there are thousands of fossils, mostly fragmentary, often consisting of single bones or isolated teeth with complete skulls and skeletons rare

Saying we are all just flukes, like the product of a billion monkeys and a billion typewriters is too idiotic for me, lol. How about, on their way to writing a classic novel they went through millions of stages of development, just as we already know everything to be ... and use that in your theory of evolution.
Itsthetooth had a classic quote on here.
"Evolution is like 1000 tornadoes going through a junkyard and assembling a working 747."

This is where God comes into play.

It's attributed to one of two scientists you discovered DNA and is his answer to the chances of human DNA being created randomly.
The presenter inferred fröm the question and his answer that the discoverer of DNA was endorsing humans didnt evolve but created by E.T.
Coming full circle to his groundbreaking discovery of DNA's structure, Crick wondered, if life began in the great "primeval soup" suggested by the Miller/Urey experiment, why there wouldn't be a multitude of genetic materials among the different life forms. Instead, all life on Earth shares the same basic DNA structure.
Crick and Orgel wrote in their book 'Life Itself,' "an honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."

Then where are the millions or billions of transitional skeletons of our "ancestors" ?
They analyze those bone fragments and (yes) full skeletons for decades before classifying them.
Oh that right there is only a handful of cobbled together skulls fragments or skeletons made from different finds.

Text If this being is truly all powerful and intelligent, would it not make more sense that it would create creatures that are dynamic and adaptive, rather than fixed in a particular form?

According to Moses, time was not created by the Creator till the fourth era of producing. If that be true then there is no such thing as a million years ago unless one of the days of producing was of the last three days after time was created. Can't have it both ways. Science can never prove time when there is no time to prove.

No dude, you are WRONG again !
I don't want to waist my time explaining you the basics and those two links is just something you should read and think about.
According to Moses, God made man in His image and after His likeness.

Text That is not possible because time does not exist. Time IS space. Time is the movement of the universe. 'Years' is a man made calculation based on our movement around the sun. In order for the earth to be here, space-time would have had to be here prior. There is not some magical external force known as time. We are at a moment and we will always be at that moment.

Text Moses has nothing to do with creation stories. The likeness is the trinity. It was already ancient occult knowledge at the time of writing. Churches will have you believe anything though, especially if it gives their leaders more power.

The premise of this thread is false. If you are a Christian, accepting evolution is the insult to your creator. God told you how the human race came about, and now you are going to say God is wrong? That would be the real insult. If you believe in evolution, you can't be a Christian, the two ideas are not compatible. By accepting evolution, you deny the Bible as the Word of God, and once you deny the Bible as the Word of God, you call into question the authenticity of everything written in it. If Genesis is wrong, why are the Gospels right? This has been the plan of the emergent church, to undermine and question the Word, just as the serpent did in Genesis 3: "Yea, hath God said...?"
