god gave them a funny looking nose and they just had to figure out where to stick it.
no really though i had always thought that anteaters were poster-children for adaptive evolution.

1. Evolution reproduced in the lab or documented in nature:
a. Two strains of fruit flies lost the ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring in the lab over a 4-year span ... i.e. they became two new species. (Easily repeated experiment.)
b. A new plant species (a type of firewood), created by a doubling of the chromosome count from the original stock (Mosquin, 1967).
c. Multiple species of the house mouse unique to the Faeroe Islands occurred within 250 years of introduction of a foundation species on the island.
d. Formation of 5 new species of cichlid fishes that have formed in a single lake within 4,000 years of introduction of a parent species.
2. Fossil evidence - (So much to list). The way fossils appear in the layers of rock always corresponds to relative development ... more primitive creatures in lower (older) layers. Absolute dating of fossils using radiometry. Constant discovery of new transitional forms. E.g. reptile-birds, reptile-mammals, legged whales, legged sea cows.
3. Genetic evidence - E.g. the fact that humans have a huge number of genes (as much as 96%) in common with other great apes ... and (as much as 50%) with wheat plants. The pattern of genetic evidence follows the tell-tale patterns of ancestral relationships (more genes in common between recently related species, and fading the further back in time).
4. Molecular evidence - These are commonalities in DNA ... which is separate from genetic commonalities ... much of our DNA does not code for genes at all. But random mutations (basically 'typos') enter into DNA at a known rate over the centuries. This is called the 'molecular clock' and again gives excellent evidence of when humans diverged from other apes (about 6 million years ago, according to this molecular clock), and this corresponds perfectly with when these fossils first appear in the fossil record (using radiometric dating).
5. Evidence from proteins - Proteins - E.g., things like blood proteins (the things that give us our A, B, O blood typing and the Rh factor (the plus/minus thing) which incidentally stands for 'rhesus monkey'); the exact structure of the insulin molecule; and my favorite, the proteins responsible for color vision. The specific proteins found in human color vision are exactly the same as those found in Old World primates (the great apes and the monkeys found in Africa and Asia). These proteins are absent in New World primates (the Central and South American monkeys), and from all other mammals. In fact among the New World primates, only the howler monkey has color vision ... but these use slightly *different* proteins, coded on different locations and chromosomes, than humans and the OW primates. This is yet more evidence of a closer link between humans and the OW primates.
6. Vestigial and atavistic organs - E.g. Leg and pelvic bones in whales, dolphins, and some snakes; unused eyes in blind cave fish, unused wings in flightless birds and insects; flowers in non-fertilizing plants (like dandelions); in humans, wisdom teeth, tailbones, appendix, the plantaris muscle in the calf (useless in humans, used for grasping with the feet in primates).
7. Embryology - E.g. Legs on dolphin embryos; tails and gill folds on human embryos; snake embryos with legs; marsupial eggshell and carnuncle.
8. Biogeography - The current and past distribution of species on the planet. E.g. almost all marsupials and almost no placental mammals are native to Australia ... the result of speciation in a geographically isolated area.
9. Homology - E.g. the same bones in the same relative positions in primate hands, bat wings, bird wings, mammals, whale and penguin flippers, pterosaur wings, horse legs, the forelimbs of moles, and webbed amphibian legs.
10. Bacteriology, virology, immunology, pest-control - I.e. the way that bacteria evolve in response to antibiotics (we can compare strains of tuberculosis today, with samples of older epidemics and can see the specific structures), or viruses (like HIV) respond to antivirals, or insects evolving in response to pesticides.
The Big Bang
1. The Universe as a whole is expanding.
2. The universe is filled with a sea of radiation at a temperature of just over 2.7 degrees Kelvin, the remnant of the superhot radiation from the fireball that has cooled down as the universe expanded.
3. The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium and some other light elements produced just after the Big Bang confirms to prediction.
4. The large-scale structures observed in the universe today, are a consequence of small fluctuations shortly after the Big Bang
5. Einstein's Theory of Relativity, a theory for which there exist overwhelming evidence even from everyday phenomena, predicts an expanding Universe.
i can't understand all the fancy mumbo-jumbo, so evolution is a lie.~

Arguing with people who don't believe in evolution is basically like arguing with a brick wall. For people to think this somehow disproves evolution or exposes lies is..interesting. Those people have an interesting grasp of science.
Of course by "interesting grasp of science" I mean literally having no idea what they are talking about.

I have tried to help the narrow minded religious prone mind and I've actually heard I don't want to watch that documentary Zeitgeist because I'm satisfied with my beliefs. Some of them are just happy being spoon fed how to think. I selfishly enjoy that lemmings exist in droves. It's kind of amusing.
it's amusing until they're at your door with pitchforks and torches screaming "death to the unbeliever"

Ah yes, the old "im insecure" argument. Religious people are just sheep being spoonfed while you're a special snowflake, a self proclaimed enlightened thinker. That one's been done to death and i always laugh when someone mentions it. Also lol at guy who just posted a book on evolution. I don't think he gets sarcasm.

LOL. Right. I guess you ignored all the links I posted that prove evolution is a lie. BUt, feel free to keep believing in the Big Bang and evolution bullshit (despite the fact that there is ZERO PROOF for it) if it makes ya happy. I hope you like fire.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.

I didn't say all religious people I mentioned the ones who don't even want to hear another viewpoint. The close minded are ridiculous not everyone who disagrees with my viewpoints. Calm down. You are the one who comes across as insecure here.
