OK, so if you can answer one single question, I might believe
in creationism:  Where did god come from?  You see, it is the same
kind of a question, really.  However, we know that evolution takes
place within species.  By extrapolation we can conclude that
it takes place between species.  IN fact, there is good evidence
that it has taken place.

OTOH, there is no logical evidence that creation took place.
