"What evidence is there of evolution other than "similarities"?" There is a lot of evidence. Humans have intentionally bred for certain characteristic in animals and plants for thousands of years. Look at dogs, a Chihuahua and an Irish Wolfdog are the same species by any definition in use today. Yet they differ in mass by orders of magnitudes. Insects develop resistance to pesticides, bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics. Virii develop new ways to circumvent the immune system. Or, what the heck, look at humans. Humans are the same species, yet look at the different races. Compare a pygmy with a Watusi. Or an Australian Aborigini to a European. Or to a Mayan. If you believe in the literal inerrancy of the Bible, we are all descended from Noah and his immediate family. So all of the varieties of humans arose in somewhat less than 6000 years if you take the Creation to have occurred in 4004 BC(maybe 4500 years). So if those kind of changes can occur in 4k years, +/-, what can occur in millions? FWIW, according to current evolutionary theory, we didn't descend from apes. Both we and the apes descended from some common ancestor.
