Evidence for evolution is everywhere.
Take agriculture for example. Every single agricultural animal or plant is completely man made. Man has shaped agricultural animals and plants into the form that suits him in a very short time.
Look at 200 year old paintings of dairy cows. They look completely different to today. Dogs have been bred into 1000's of completely different looking breeds.
Best example I see is grain crops. Man has selected grain to hang on the head indefinately. Grain will hang there until it's shot. It's lost it's chance to reproduce. In nature, grain should drop from the head as soon as it's ripe, in order to reproduce.
If man has changed animals and plants so much in just generations, why is it so hard to think that nature couldn't do the same in millions of years?
See ya's.
TC,
You probably wont like this reply, but please dont hold it against me (I remember you got upset with me another time). I love your farm posts. Just bought a farm myself.
In regards to the dogs, cows etc. We agree totally there is a lot of breeding, but at the end of the day, all the different dogs (tall dog, short dogs, hairly dogs, short haired dogs, etc etc) are still dogs. The same with cows. Many types and sizes...........but all still cows. About the only instance I know of two animals creating a different animal is a mule (horse crossed with donkey) and they cant reproduce.
So in my lifetime, I have never seen anything change into anything else other than what it orginally was.
I get given examples of evolution, like a crow living in the city. A bush bird has evolved so it can survive in the city. At the end of the day, its still just a crow.
I know people pull fossils out of the ground and say this turned to this. If anyone wants to believe them, thats fine. I just try and base my conclusions on simple things I can experience,witness, and see for myself.
Cheers
