Foundationalism is the basing of knowledge on one sure fact and expounding upon it. This is a good way to discern knowledge, if done correctly and without prejudice. Evolution is based on the idea of natural selection and mutation, both known and observed facts. But, evolution takes it a step further and explains the whole of creation based on these two observable principles. Men rationalized these theories because these men insisted on the idea that there was no God. They took the small knowledge that they had (animals' built-in ability to change with the inherently changing environment (Thank You, God!)) and turned this simple set of observations into a detailed and complex rationalization based on nothing more than similarities. These men did not take into account that random meshing of molecules to create man would have caused wide differences in the basic building blocks of species. Instead, we have 20 amino acids and 5 nucleotides that make up the building blocks of life. We have one type of material that transmits data from parent to offspring (DNA). Even the material used by prions and viruses use products of this single material (DNA->RNA->Protein). Also, they assume that complex structures could have come about by selective mutations that would have been disadvantageous to the carriers. For instance, they say that the wing evolved by first being a flap and then grew and grew to become a wing. They say that the flap was used to move about by swimming or by pulling up onto land. They ignore the fact that the wing is a very brittle structure, much too weak to be used in motion on land and much too complex to be effective in swimming.
The truth is that God built in a simple way for animals and humans to change from generation to generation to adapt to changing environments. This simple flexibility has been blown out of proportion to the point where scientists actually abandon the scientific method of doubting first, then gathering empirical evidence to cancel their doubts. Instead, scientists uncharacteristically take an idea and attempt to find information that supports their ideas rather than discount them.
It is simply irrational to believe that species came from other species. There is no evidence to support that there are any links between creatures. There are similarities in genetics and similarities in phenotypes, but there is no evidence to show that they are linked. It simply means that God built the earth with a specific set of natural laws in mind that He enacted and which animals had certain ways that they could navigate nature with- hence the similarities.
The only question that remains is- where did the dinosaurs come from? This is the only unanswerable question in regards to the evidence that brought about evolution (evolutionists consistently and again uncharacteristically discard the fact that the fossil records are contrary to their theories).
