I certainly understand the theory of evolution and, as I said, the circumstantial evidence behind it. What I don't understand is what "drives" evolution because I don't believe that "natural selection" can do it on its own.

If natural selection cannot account for the existence of complex forms of life, then your only other option is a Creator. So I guess you believe in a Creator after all. You just don't really want to admit it quite yet. Do you know of any other possibility? It's either chance-process + natural selection, (i.e. Evolution), or Creationism, right?

I do accept that life has been on this planet for hundreds of millions of years and there is evidence to prove it.

Life has been here hundreds of millions of years? If there is so much evidence why don't you tell us exactly how many millions of years? Can you narrow it down a little for us? 100 million years? 200 million? 300 million?

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

I also accept there are similarities between all vertebrates and also between the DNA of all living species.

Umm, I don't think any reasonably-minded Christian would disagree with you that humans share some similarities with animals. The fact that there are some similarities is evidence of what......?
