Science constantly corrects itself. When something gets proof that goes against it in scientific knowledge, that idea is replaced with what is now thought to be correct. Things such as evolution have lasted since the 19th century without any evidence against it, and lots of observations for it.
I honestly find it hard to think of a way life could work without evolution — most animals aren't perfect copies of each other, they mutate all the time. Some of these mutations will affect the likelihood of a particular creature surviving and then whatever DNA was mutated will probably get passed down to the creature's offspring. Over time these mutations build up, like a snowball, and new species could even be created.
The Christians who think the bible has any truths involving anything other than what life was like at the time it was written are listening to a couple thousand (Old testament) to couple hundred (New testament) year old book that doesn't constantly get revised.
Religion isn't always a bad thing, but it is not something that should be used to explain how and why certain things are about the universe. The only true way to do that is by conducting experiments and explaining the observations. Over and over, ad infinitum.
Anyway, on-topic:
The music makes this video great.
