here are some scholarly books that seriously question evolution. Evolution a theory in crisis by Michael Denton(agnostic) The icons of evolution by Jonathan Wells, Darwin on trial by Law professor Phillip Johnson. Another new great book is darwin strikes back by Thomas Woodward

The earth cooled, and the steam that was floating around cooled down and fell (it rained) and filled the oceans.
Bananas: the yellow coloring is due to farming and domestication. The lesser-evolved form is the wild banana, a brown pod with sweetness on the inside. They taste mostly the same.
Whales; They have those two fins on either side, right? Those used to be for crawling aroun don the ground. They got to the point where water would be their best bet.
Alligators: A million years ago, alligators were mych larger, and as long as a school bus, but there were the 10 and 15 foot long ones also. When a gigantic methane expulsion from the earth killed all the animals with larger lungs, the smaller animals (elephanst considered small here) were able to thrive due to the absence of much larger predators.
I might be wrong, but I learned this... in about 5 th grade. So, hopefully I'm right about this.

Science does not work by proving what is true. Science works by disproving what is untrue. So far, after 150 years of trying, nobody has yet disproven evolution.
In fact, evolutionary theory has passed every test devised for it, and has been supported by thousands and thousands of observations in the field and in the lab. One example: Darwin simply assumed that there was a physical mechanism underlying inheritance, without knowing anything about what that mechanism was. It was not until decades later that Mendelian genetics was discovered, and not until the 1950's that the genetic code of DNA was deciphered. Now we know that 70% of the genes found in yeast are also found in human beings. If evolution were not true, we would have no reason to suspect that.

Go back to the Galopogos islands where Darwin first got his ideas. Every island the same animals adapted to their particular surroundings, providing wild variances. Evolution is far more likely than any creationist theory you can throw at it.
On the other hand, it is just a theory. Evolutionists aren't trying nearly as hard to prove it as creationists are trying to prove it wrong. Before you try too hard yourself, though, try to remember that the theory is NOT that we came from monkeys. It's just observed that monkeys and humans probably share a common ancestor. There's a big difference.

I can.
We now have over a hundred variations of the AIDS virus.
Now there's no way in H, E, double toothpicks that this convinces me that we came from monkeys, but we eventually have to accept facts if we would like to graduate from ignorance.
I personally won't believe in evolution until I see humans develop another species that flourishes. In recorded history, this has never happened, and in fact all exploreres who came across human beings in newly discovered lands and continents continually came across the same species of human beings and never once found a variation.
I therefore have to believe that humans don't evolve, and I really don't care if other life forms do or not.

Fossils prove that life forms change over time. Over millions of years one species can change into another. For example fish to reptiles to dinosaurs to birds.

If you wanted to find examples of observable evolution in progress right now, plain as day, you could google it. It clearly does happen, and the fossil record strongly suggests that it has happened in the past.

Go to the Natural History Museum and check out all their fossil and molecular evidence. You can literally see the evolution happening before your eyes.

Just read some books on evolution, and you will come across many examples that prove evolution as fact.

there's no ought to guard evolution via fact the info are there. The "precise question" you're debating is extremely substantial. attack creationism, that's fantasy supportted soley by skill of the Bible. A e book written 2000 years in the past written,edited, deleted,translated by skill of "adult adult males". The Bible isn't the artwork of god , however the artwork of "adult adult males"without real or scientific help. in the controversy question any sceintific references in the Bible in direction of creationism. Ask him or them to quote the authors, references,etc. as an occasion, in the adventure that your opponet saids "Mark as author from the bible, you may say that Mark isn't the author, the writings have been edited, translated, condensed , accelerated. The final version of the bible grew to become into the King James version. "version"ought to be u.s. in the controversy additionally. ( you have scientific references for evoluton) you may throw in stuff, like the church mentioned the international grew to become into flat and the earth grew to become into the centre of the universe. lots of the creationist arguement i've got seen on television centres on "why won't be able to technology clarify why this has befell or hasn't befell" that's impossile for creationist to beleive that the Bible is irrelivant in a argurment, that it has no status. The Bible is the only "actual" source the creationists have, in case you may convince people who as a unscientific e book it calls for not greater know then the different international religions "e book" those books have only as lots status via fact the Bible( different than in the creationists innovations) and function opposite creationists perspectives from the Bible. endure in innovations your opponet will attempt to maintain the Bible out and take a inspect to centre his arguments on the " what technology hasnt defined yet" you ought to centre on creationism coming from the Bible. The Bible has no scientific foundation. P.S Its greater advantageous to be Agnostic as a exchange of Atheist. Agnostics beleive there's a God, yet, you will by no skill be attentive to him. something ought to of started each and every thing a quadtrillion years in the past. Its style of like talkin correct to the climate. Its the difficulty you communicate correct to the main........yet its the difficulty you're able to do no longer something approximately
