Some years ago, Father William A. Williams ha written a book named "Evolution of Man Scientifically disproved". I'd try to discuss the follies of this book as epigrammatically as possible, and if you want to read every fact in detail with illustrations, you can always check out the above said forum.
Below is the summary of the summary of the introduction of this book I had made earlier
Succinct Summary of the introduction of Evo. Of Man disproved
This book is designed,
(1) As an up-to-date text book, and a companion to all other text books on evolution; and
(2) As an antidote to books in libraries teaching evolution, infidelity and atheism.
Let it be understood, at the outset, that every proved theory of science is to be accepted. Only the most intense prejudice and the maddest folly would lead any one to reject the proved conclusions of science. Every theory to which mathematics can be applied will be proved or disproved by this acid test.
Any scientific theory or hypothesis must be proved first possible, then probable, then certain. To be a possible theory, it must be reconcilable with many facts; to be a probable theory, it must be reconcilable with many more; to be a certain and proven theory, it must be reconcilable with all the facts. Every true theory passes through these three stages,--possibility, probability, and certainty.
All the arguments against evolution in general are valid against the evolution of man. There are many other arguments, that prove the evolution of man impossible, even if the evolution of plants and animals can be proved possible.
Even if every argument in this book were invalid, save one, that one valid argument would overthrow evolution, since every true theory must be reconcilable with all the facts (Note how Father is reacting to the authenticity of his own facts. Guilty conscience – Added by The Winster). One irreconcilable fact is sufficient to overthrow evolution.
The evolution of man is not only a guess, but a very wild one; and it is totally unsupported by any convincing (!) arguments. It can be mathematically demonstrated to be an impossible theory.

Yes ofcourse, that was a very vulgar thought that came to my mind.

It seems that you have too much of dislike towards religion, Ain't it? Its true that religion has only induced hatred when it comes to contributions on a mass scale (and not the inividual level). But just like Science is said to be both a curse and a boon, religion is also the same thing. I have always defended science by saying that, Science, by itself, can never do anything bad. It depends only on the way we use it. Whatever science does is for some good. Whatever destructive things are used by us, have been derived from some other benevolent scientific theory.
Apply the same logic to religion, and you'll see that the truth is clear. Remember that communal riots are somewhat more in the hands of religious leaders an politicians; that is what I have observed in the communal riots of Gujarat in 2002.
Anyways, have your say on evolution, especially on Father Williams' arguements
Now run along.
