Just because a scientific theory does not make sense in your mind, does not make it less true. You can observe evolution, one example would be in virus'. If you take the H5N1 virus (bird flu) for example, you can see that it first infects, well...birds. It goes through an evolutionary process in order to be able to infect humans. It then further evolves in humans from a contact virus, to an airborne variety, that easily spreads from one person to another, and viola! you have a pandemic.I read about evolution too but see it DIDN'T make sense to me cause in my mind, I was picturing God as a precursor to all of this. I read it a long time ago and i just thought most of it was Bull.
I for one hope to not witness this particular evolution process in it's entirety. But hey if you do....
I think the problem is your definition of evolution. It is incomplete, and based on what you've heard from people with an agenda.
This is just one small, easy example of this process, that occurs everyday all around you. Before you discount something entirely based on a lack of understanding from something you read, you would do well to study and learn and know the subject at hand. If at that point you still object, that is ok. A fabulous resource for a compact version would be Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution
