IMO Evolution seems like a better reasonable choice than not when it comes to possibilities. Genetic similarity and difference is a matter of which genes are turned on or turned off in any particular species. The real thinking behind evolutution is trying to discern with a reasonable scientific method the course of events that led to a species being the species it is. I question any doubt cast towards it's validity as a scientific theory until a broad knowledge base of the activity that has been applied trying to prove and disprove it has been presented.

From what I know of it, the hypothesis it was born from has generally been reinforced by applying theory. ie. The evidence examined generally supports evolutuion's scientific validity as a theory. I really dont recall specifics but I know it involves studing everything from aercheology to gentics. I wouldnt reject it with out lots more info, but in the end it doesnt matter that much to me anyway. The main problem with the theory of evolution is that it contradicts other theories of the beginning of humanity and all other species on the earth.
