Just looking at some of the questions and answers on this site brings this question to mind; people do not understand the theory of evolution. Just look at this;
1) If an organism evolves into another organism, what does it breed with? Good question since there is such a variety in the number of chromosomes within different species.
[Species evolve, not organisms.]
2) If an organism evolves into another organism, why do the old organisms still exist? (why didn't all monkeys evolve into men?)
[Monkeys did not evolve into men]
3) Scientists have been breeding fruit flies, lab rats, bacteria, etc. for many years -- subjecting them to all sorts of situations to try to force evolutionary changes. They can change some minor traits (coloration, etc.) -- but they still get fruit flies from fruit flies every few days. If evolution was actually happening, there should be some more direct evidence that it is occurring.
[Evolution takes centuries. Evidence is the fossil record and genetics.]
