Um... Are we supposed to start every comment with some quote we feel like making irrelavent?

"I am by no means trying to nullify the theory but rather trying to show that is is just that: a theory." All you have shown is that you really know nothing about it. And do keep in mind that a "theory" is a rigorously tested explanation for observed facts. The fact that evolution is called a theory means that, as far as the science goes, it is as close to proven as any scientific idea possibly could be.

"The nature of the eye and how it has come to create an image of our interpretation of reality." Even Darwin himself was able to explain how the eye evolved, and that was close to 150 years ago. Do try to keep up.

"How could the first living cell arise spontaneously to get evolution started?" Irrelevant. Evolution is how life behaves, not how it began.

"How is evolution able to bring about drastic changes so quickly?" Define "quickly". The so-called Cambrian explosion happened over the course of about 80 million years.

"How does evolution add information to a genome to create progressively more complicated organisms?" Oh come on, you do know what "mutations" are, don't you?

It should be noted that the actual creation date is 23rd of October of 4004 BC about 9 am. ;)

and that designer was Thor or Zeus ?

You'd do well to familiarize yourself with the scientific usage of "theory." As for your questions, you have the Internet at your fingertips. It really is a valuable resource, provided you access reliable sources. I'd recommend the University of California's Evolution 101, if you have the time on your hands. It's fully accessible to the average layperson. :)

That was great!

"How is evolution able to bring about drastic changes so quickly?" Yes, over 10s of millions of years sure is rapid... "How could the first living cell arise spontaneously to get evolution started?" This is the field of abiogenesis. NOT the theory of evolution. Like all evolution sceptics, you are arguing purely from a position of ignorance about the actual nature of the theory of evolution. Of course it is "just a theory", but it is one with a huge body of empirical evidence to support it.

How could the first living cell arise spontaneously to get evolution started? The nature of the eye and how it has come to create an image of our interpretation of reality. Those are just a few. I am by no means trying to nullify the theory but rather trying to show that is is just that: a theory.
