Wrong. We see speciation all the time. All species are in transition at all times. The only thing we can't observe right now is one species changing into something radically different which takes ages and even then we'd have to have a time lapse camera to show the species and it's thousands of incremental transitional speciation. However, the fossil record provides a nice slide show of transitional species.

I think science falls when it says that we all evolved from a single organism.

Is this a rejection of the actual science, or a rejection due to personal comfort. I.E. not wanting to believe that our species is branched off from a single celled prokaryote billions of years ago?

If that is so how did some organisms become dogs and others became humans if it was all from the same type of organism.

Evolution provides an explanation. Adaptation, natural selection, mutation. Also, this is a bit of a Gaps argument.

Science tries to provide an absolute answer but it can not and that is where it falls short. This argument could go on and on

Wrong again. Science doesn't deal with absolutes.

I believe in GOD and if we want to use science to explain how GOD created things that is ok with me.

So again, it's back to an issue of comfort.
We've explained a great deal without invoking a deity. Which deity would you propose has created everything?
Also, if you want to insert a god into the equation, and if science is explaining how this god created everything... then if science came to the conclusion that we evolved from single celled organisms, why couldn't this be your god at work?

If a person wants to believe in science then that is also ok with me.

If a person wants to believe in Thor, this is okay with me as well...
