Evolution

These are my thoughts on evolution, now you may disagree, but please do not think me a simpleton or a fool because I do not believe in evolution. Ever since I was young the idea always just seemed a bit ridiculous to me, and I always just ignored it. Now that I am older I find that I must strive to reason why because it is continuously being shoved at me. However my conviction has only seemed to have been confirmed. Part may be to my being a devout Mormon and if I was not mormon I know I would be a devout christian and would still hold the same views. Do not try to dissuade me it will do nothing for the either of us. I do not believe that god created man with the use of evolution. In genesis 1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over every thing that creepeth upon the earth." If we were made in God's image I do not believe that this means we would first have had to evolve from a single organism, to a fish, to a four legged mammal, to a gorilla, and then to a man. God would have just made us a man, otherwise we are not just a man are we? Our ancestors before Adam and eve were then a gorilla, a four legged mammal, a fish, and a microorganism. Making us also a gorilla, a four legged mammal, a fish, and a microorganism as well as a man.  In that same verse of genesis God said that man was to have dominion over the things of this earth. How was man supposed to have dominion over the things of this earth if we were the same as them? I do not believe it would have worked or that our father in heaven would have planned it that way. He is our father and we are made in his image, not the image of another organism. Besides the point of religion I have several questions as to the logic of  this science that I know I would ask even if I wasn't a christian because it just doesn't make sense. Why is evolution on such a large scale still not happening today? I would have thought that someone would have noticed a creature evolving into a human rather than it's being born human and would have shouted it out to the scientific community by now. Now I know that this process is supposed to take millions of years but I think that even scientists back long ago would have discovered more men being formed out of other species rather than just through conception. How did those organisms find the exact genetic sequence to make a human and allow us and other creatures to have such complexities in order to function in life? How did those mircroorganisms know how to create the perfect reproduction system and how to create a liver or any other organ, especially a brain? How did they know how to make a brain where we were able to perfectly think and live without any more help from their process of evolving? There is no way they could know the perfect sequence to create such a organ or any organ that can function perfectly in harmony with the rest of a human body. Also science keeps changing and being disproved and rewritten every day. Constantly we are discovering that we were wrong on everything in science. Long ago it made sense to use leaches to suck the blood out of us when we were sick, because we believed that sickness was due to bad blood rather than bacteria and viruses. Why is this any different? How can it not change or be dis-proven as well? Please if you do believe differently do not think I am trying to belittle or offend you, but I do want you to know that this it what I believe. It came from my own study and questioning and I will and would believe this no matter what situation or where you put me in life. I am sorry if I have offended. My post was not meant to offend anyone or cause contention, it was written only to state my opinion on the subject that has come up a lot in my life.
