Okay, so I'll try again, in smaller words. I have no proof. Neither does science. See, that means we both have the same amount of proof. 0 = 0. None is the same as none. Am I getting through?

Genetic (oh, look they stole a biblic- wait, nevermind) variation does not work that way; read about evolution before dismissing it. For a fungus to give birth to a fish, or a bacteria to a bird, would be a miracle -- which is the realm of magic and not science.
Okay, let's take this back. Where did man come from. Uh huh, and before that? Uh huh, and before that, ad infinitum? Uh huh. So, where did my rose bush come from? Uh huh, and before that? Uh huh, and before that, ad infinitum? Okay, see.... Unless this one in a bazillion-gazillion chance of life forming from non-life happened several times (but, only here on earth!), everything came from the same original life cell. That had all of the genetic information in it for everything that exists today, with all it's variety. Oh, and the 99% of life that's existed on this planet that is already dead and gone.

Read up on what you're saying is right before you argue about it.
