What proof do any of you have that macro evolution truly exists? Not micro evolution. Macro evolution.?

Answer 1

While I question macro-evolution, and don't think it has 100% conclusive proof, it *does* have evidence for it.
A) The fossils which we do have. Clearly there have been massive changes.
B) homology - again, not conclusive but fits well with evolution
C) micro-evolution. it can be argued -- not conclusively, but certainly argued -- that it could be extrapolated, at least to an extent, to macroevolution.
D) vestigial organs - i know, they've found uses for some. but there are MANY, MANY more. it seems a little farfetched that all of them have such important, if any, function.

besides for that, the only other models which really exist to explain our findings are either directed panspermia (aliens created us) and G-d. Niether of these latter two fit that well with the evidence. Certainly the earth appears several million years old (not thousands).

then again, G-d might've created us with evolution (this would work with ID theory).

Answer 2

DO YOU REALLY OR DO YOU WANT STUFF TO DENY? WHY AM I SHOUTING TOO? These should KEEP YOU BUSY FOR A WHILE... Type this into google: 'proof for macroevolution' Go to the first result (29+ evidences for macroevolution) Then click 'content' when the page loads. An example: "The mammalian gastrointestinal tract crosses the respiratory system. Functionally, this is suboptimal; it would be beneficial if we could breathe and swallow simultaneously. Unfortunately, we cannot, and this is why we are susceptible to death by choking. However, there is a good historical evolutionary reason for this arrangement. The Osteolepiformes (Devonian lungfish), from which mammals evolved, swallowed air to breathe. Only later did the ancestors of mammals recruit the olfactory nares of fish for the function of breathing on land. It so happens that the nares (originally used only for smelling) are on the opposite side of the esophagus from the lungs (Futuyma 1998, p. 5). Humans have inherited this original design, even though it now causes problems."

Answer 3

Macro-evolution is merely what we can observe in micro-evolution, projected over periods of time that we can't sit around and watch. The fossil record suggests that macro-evolution is on the right track.

Answer 4

Micro-evolution is the proof that macro-evolution exists. Macro-evolution is just a long time in which many micro-evolutions happen.

"Microevolution can be contrasted with macroevolution; which is the occurrence of large-scale changes in gene frequencies, in a population, over a geological time period (i.e. consisting of lots of microevolution). The difference is largely one of approach."

Answer 5

For the sake of argument, I am going to assume that you believe in a creationist belief of some kind. Let's say that you believe in the story of Adam & Eve. If there was no evolution then all of the people in the world should look relatively similar. For the most part, they would have similar color, complexion, features, etc. However, from the diversity we see everywhere every day we can see that changes have occured. Changes occured due to various genetic variations & combinations. Others probably occured due to evirnomental reasons. So, even if you are Christian...you must believe in evolution to some degree.

Answer 6

There is no proof. Speculation. Hoping. But, not any real proof. It's a substitute for God, because many do not want to be accountable to God.

Also, the costly search for any kind of life form on other planets in our solar system (and we pay for it, by the way) is a desperate hope of the atheist evolutionists for support for evolution. None exists. All the other planets are sterile.

And, if it did exist, that would still not support evolution.

Answer 7

It can't be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it's certainly the best explanation for the observations.

The observations include: the fossil record, dated by radioactive materials. Intermediate evolution (e.g. dog from wolf, corn from its ancestral form teosinte).

Answer 8

Do your own research. The explanation you're looking for will never, in any way, fit into any post made on YA. It's a very long winded answer and requires knowledge of biology, archaeology, chemistry, physics, cosmology, geology, and about a hundred other sciences.

Answer 9

One word: Archeopteryx

Look it up. Transitional fossil of a bird/reptile. Or, just type "List of trasitional fossils" into wikipedia and you will be given a list of about 35 transitional fossils of animals and man.

Answer 10

The fossil record.
Genetic maps of multiple species.
The presence of recently speciated groups (e.g. horses and donkeys).
