Lets just work from the last 4000 years. Well does this not suggest a gradual evolution of man (albeit not on a genetic level)? I've just always felt there was much more to Darwins theory than the monkey to man aspect. That part just happens to be the sexiest.
Ok, lets really examine this. bigger, stronger, faster- the Bible says man used to live 900+ years. We have fossilized evidence of plants animals and yes even people that were much bigger than today. There isn't a dispute about "prehistoric" life being bigger, stronger than we are today. That fact alone is inconsistent with the evolution theory. We would actually be getting smaller, plants, animals and people.

Scientifically we only know what 5-15% of what the brain does. It has been said that we only utilize 10% of our brain capacity on average. Did we start out at 100% or 0% to get to where we are today? I think it's harder to prove less. There are some very impressive ancient buildings that we can't produce today with our technology. Pyramid, stonehenge, easter island statues, etc.

Socially we have very full prisons, jerry springer, divorce, teen suicides, need any more

Economic- do you really understand fractional reserve banking? And you think it's a good thing. Our country is so far in debt that if they sold everything owned in the country it wouldn't pay it off.

Language- you think english is more expressive than other older languages? Latin, greek, hebrew all of which are much older than english are much more complicated than our watered down language.

And based upon observable laws and characteristics now, evolution just doesn't make sense....
