A defense of theistic evolution

In May we read Observer Backs Darwin. Hopefully those presenting the exhibit will present both sides of the theory since, as quoted from Genesis and the Big Bang by G. D. Schroeder, an applied physicist and theologian, the fossil record has failed to confirm Darwin's theory. Furthermore, the DNA code is so complex that there has not been enough time for evolution (Darwin's) and the odds are also against it. Consider this: a simple human cell measuring 1/1000 of an inch across contains instructions within its DNA that would fill one thousand books of six hundred pages each!!
Here is a good enough example of complexity: A mother kangaroo can be feeding as many as three joeys at one time and each one a year apart. The miracle in that each joey knows its own teat and that each teat gives a different grade of milk as required for the growth of the joey because of age!! I favour theistic evolution–we are not alone in the universe.
