Alan,
At least you understand evolution, even if you don't agree with it.
Except you wrote<
.>>.some rocks that turned themselves into mud...
The word "themeselves" imply that they were already alive and I know you
don't believe that. Evolution is a natiural force (like erosion) which
acts on things. The things don't just suddenly decide to start changing,
Unless they're possessed by the devil or infused with a holy spirit, I
guess. Religion has so many weird rules it's hard to keep up.

Storks? Nah. It was...
..some rocks that turned themselves into mud...
...and some of the mud turned itself into a primeval chemical ooze,
...and some of the primeval chemical ooze turned itself into a
primeval proto-organic ooze,
...and some of the proto-organic ooze turned itself into either
proteinoids or amino acid complexes,
...then mRNA or rRNA or probably not DNA (depending on the
spontaneous-abiogenesis theory du jour) somehow (nobody knows yet,
they're working on it, maybe we'll never know, who needs a credible
real-world recipe anyway to know it happened, since we believe it
anyway)..
....and when there were enough of those, some of these complex
biochemical compounds turned themselves into full-blown
reproductive mRNA or rRNA or DNA with the organic wrappings that
protected them from fatal UV rays and exposure to the fatal
environment, (doesn't matter which one or how it could defy natural
laws to do it, we believe it anyway)
...and then they organized themselves (somehow) into a minimum of
about 250 genes in a bacteria, the absolute minimum for any
independent self-sustaining organism today.
With all that, who needs a stork kids! Now be a good little
gullible pupil and don't question your superior intellectuals, it's
not a fairy tale because *we the smart ones* believe it!
