Evolution?

I can not claim to know much about biology. But I just can not
imagine a false theory like evolution, which makes an assumption that
man came from apes and that absolutely every living thing has a
common ancestor, could be of any importance to any science.
It seems that it would be more of a hinderance than a help. I know
God made man from the earth and He took a shortcut when He made
the female. So we have the common elements that make the earth
in our bodies with the addition of god's life-giving spirit. But He designed
each thing he made for a specific purpose. He devised laws in the universe
that all things must work within. We are unable to change these laws
to suit our purposes. There is too much order in everything in the
universe for it to come about by chance. Even most evolutionist believe
that change does not take place outside of certain limitations. They just
refuse to accept that these laws were created for a purpose. They
seem to ignore the implication and just say that is the way nature works.
I have never heard of evolution being responsible for any great scientific
discovery. So why do we need it? We could just as easily using creation
by God, adaptation, and mutation to explain it all.

but it doesn't need a “direction” ( let alone something “spiritual” ) in the sense that it explains what it does just fine without any sort of “direction”.

Also, there is a ...[text shortened]... s ( just like a mindless gust of wind selects the smaller grains of sand to move them etc ) .

For me it's logical for biological permutations to have a goal.

I guess we subscribe to different kinds of logic.

And in this case one of us is clearly right and one is clearly wrong.(And neither of us know who is right, unless you can prove evolution has no direction)
