Evolution is nothing more than a religion, csfilm. There is no shame in admitting that.
I will nominat you and Lebell for pontiff and bishop, if you would like as well and this can be your very own order, then!

Evolution is no more a science than the tarot or tea leaves, because the ones making the interpretations are also the ones hiding behind the mirrors and teaching the classes.

Was it Marx, Lenin or Trotsky who said: "Give me one generation and I'll change the world"?

Perhaps we need to understand the term theory-

A scientific theory is almost exactly what you have been attempting to express here. No theorist will tell you they have everything correct, as that would be a "law" not a theory. The theory of evolution is a work in progress, and this thread is an attempt to "disprove" this theory.
We will never disprove anything with opinion, this will only lead to personal speculation. A serious attempt to shed light on the weaknesses of a theory will entail factual discrepancies proclaimed by said theory.
As far as the tea leaves and tarot jab, I think you may be pushing your distaste for the theory a bit too far, as there is quite a bit of evidence, thus far, to back up the theory.

This is more of what I am looking for in this thread-

Does evolution truly explain the diversity of lifeforms in existance, or do we need some other force to account for this?

Does evolution explain the reasoning behind extinction, or does the earth itself (god) create species failure?

Can Any one explanation encompass the complicated and intricate functions of "life" and the changes creatures have shown over time?
