Evolution is science, Creationism is mythology. Hovind uses strawman arguments, they're logical fallacies, if you're ignorant of science they may make sense.

You've been listening to hovind too much, this isn't evolution.

>and

Again, not evolution.

>and somehow that piece

>and somehow that life evolved from an organic soup

You may wish to look up what evolution is before critizing this strawman version you creationists dream up.

Already happens in mutations. Although its not true new genetic material has to be written to the DNA.

So you rather cling to a god of gaps? It answers all your questions as long as you don't think too much about it.

>My choice was to surrender in faith to the creator.

And ignorance at the same time.

You haven't even started, rather you've done what most other anti-science creationists do, spewing misconceptions.

Sorry, false dilemma. Fallacies aren't that convincing.

You might want to try a scientific site.
