What is the best proof that evolution is true?

Question

Looking for specific answers.........

Answer 1

Evolution is a theory with no proof ! It should not be taught at all.

Answer 2

There is no single best proof.

The best approximation to that is collective observation and honest scientific evaluation of the evidence.

It is the collective proof of several branches of biology, genetics and biochemistry combined. Evolution is the glue that binds them together in a non-conflicting way and observational scientific evidence keeps pouring in.

Here's a few places with relevant info:

"For the first time scientists have observed in real-time evolutionary changes in one species driven by competition for resources from another."

Scientific evidence continues to increase every year. Those who oppose it never come up with a single new piece of scientific evidence to the contrary - just the same old tripe written by abysmally ignorant tribal monkey men 2000+ years ago who left no knowledge of any value to the world and paved a swath of violence, destruction and mass murder everywhere they went, more than any other single activity, because more intelligent people believed different things than they.

No theory does a better job of explaining things to date in a scientific context. So until a better working theory comes along, and evidence keeps growing in its favour, then there is no reason to replace it with something that explains nothing at all.
 

Answer 3

I’m not sure what length of time you’re looking for. I have little evidence of long term evolution. I do have examples of short term evolution or adaptation. The most obvious would be resistant strains of once easily treatable bacterial infections.

A quick edit on the relevance of time: Consider how many generations of given strain of bacterial would thrive in a single human generation. Some may say evolution take hundreds of years, but it’s really measured in generations of a species.

Answer 4

Your local museum...Can you say Dinosaur fossils???

Check the bible any version doesn't matter none of them mention T-Rex or his friends.

They again some people actually believe Dinosaur bones are an elaborate plot to undermine religion and faith. Go figure!

Answer 5

A remarkable example of evolutionary convergence can be seen in the shark and the dolphin, two sea creatures that developed from different origins to become very similar in form and appearance.

The incessant mutation of +RNA viruses like HIV are one of the samples to prove the evolution (fast evolution, like in few days)
(It is not just HIV, such as flu viruses as well)

For moleular level evolution, such as primate and Homo are sharing 99% of genes and yet their behaviours are completely different . (slow evolution, like 300 million years)

Answer 6

Go on down to Home Depot, or your local garden store, and ask them how many varieties of roses they carry. Then find out a little bit about how there came to be so many different kinds of roses.

Answer 7

Our coccyx (tailbone). The way a bat's wings are different than a bird's wings, structure wise....but both can fly. The fossil record. Jawless fish. The 3 small bones in our ears. Monarch butterflies. Zebras. And on and on and on.

Answer 8

That there are dozens and dozens of different types of finches all over the planet.. the look different, and they eat different foods.. all because they have evolved to live in their environments.

Answer 9

YumYum has it right i think...Also, whales have pelvic bones which are definatly useless. The word for that started w/ a V...

Answer 10

The fact that humans have tailbones. And tonsils, appendixes, and pheromones, none of which are used anymore.
