And nobody has ever seen a new species emerge from an old one, or anywhere close. I'm still waiting to hear where the fossils are for evolution's dead ends. I want to see the mutations that never really caught on. The whole thing seems too perfect to be random chance.
There are many "dead ends" in evolution and we know about them because of the fossil record. In human evolution alone, paleontologists have found evidence of a variety of extinct humanoids that branched-off from the line we evolved from. And the universe is by no means perfect.
Saying that a fish randomly evolved into an amphibian by random mutation is like saying that a Walkman evolved into an iPod through random mutation. There're no dead ends in the fossil record. There's also HUGE gaps where there are no transitional phases that have ever been found, such as those between the sponges and anemones of the Pre-Cambrian period and, well, nearly every other phyla of life we've ever seen, all of which just suddenly appeared at the dawn of the Cambrian period. Then there's DNA itself. The stuff is so ordered and so organized that I fail to see how it could even form without help.
I don't think you understand how evolution works. A fish doesn't spontaneously grow a lung and appendage-like flippers and waddle onto land. It's a long process that builds on itself. We see missing link species like amphibians that can both breathe on land and in water. These species branched-off from the original "fish" creature that walked onto land and they remain with gills and a lung-like organ. Others branched-off further still and eventually became dinosaurs, mammals, etc. The thing you have to understand is that not all species are evolving at the same pace all the time. Evolutionary changes occur sporadically depending on many factors. Most species on Earth right now cannot point to their living, missing link species. Ours, for instance, are long extinct. Apes and monkeys branched-off from a common ancestor with us. We didn't come from monkeys, we and monkeys share a common ancestor. You and others keep expecting for one of us "evolutionists" as you put it to pull an example of spontaneous speciation out of our asses, but it just doesn't work that way. Evolution works through small, varied adaptations. When these add-up consistently over time a new species emerges. There are many "species" of frogs, fish, rats, etc. But they are all still frogs, fish and rats. They're just slightly different. If a group of rats became isolated from all other rats for a long period of time, they would speciate because the genetic information within that group would recycle itself over and over until certain characteristics became dominate enough to completely rid the entire group of other, less dominate characteristics. Environmental stimuli can do the same thing to an isolated group. Sickle Cell anemia is an excellent example of adaptation spurred by environmental stimuli--in humans no less. You can't just look at something complex, shut down your brain and write it off to "miraculous intervention." We hear thunder and see lightning, but do we say "Oh, it's the angels moving furniture around?" No, we study it and find the real explanation.

Pack to the painter analogy. If you come home one day and see that your house is a different color and that all the eaves and overhangs have been perfectly edged, all windows avoided, and all window and door frames a matching color, what do you think?
I think a painter painted it.
You have no evidence that a painter was ever at your house. You have no evidence that any intelligent being was involved at all...except the incredible ordering of the work. According to evolutionists, you must, however, discount the possibility of intelligent intervention, because you have no evidence of the intervener outside of the work done. Therefore, you MUST conclude that a random coincidence, such as an overturned truck or a split open airplane full of paint, must have dropped the paint on your house. Even lack of paint spills anywhere but where it's supposed to be must be disregarded as evidence of intervention by an intelligent being, because you have no evidence of said being and to believe that such a thing exist can only be the product of religious zealotry and a total rejection of the scientific evidence that your house was painted by random distribution.
Really bad play on my analogy. We know painters exist. We have proof that painters exist. So if I see that my house has been painted inexplicably, I know a painter painted it. We have evidence that organisms have progressively evolved from one, simple common ancestor as well as the knowledge of geology, chemistry, meteorology, biology, physics, etc.--so you immediately jump to the conclusion that a magical, invisible being that no one has ever seen created everything? You're making an illogical leap based on nothing more than what you've been told--a story passed down from the beginning by primitives--I love the word "savages"--who had absolutely no scientific understanding of the world. You can be religious, but why would you turn your nose up at science? The word science can be traced to the Latin term, "scientia," which means "to know." Why would you turn your nose up at knowledge in exchange for superstition?
