I will attempt to help show the evolutionist that they believe a lie.....

Okay....a dinosaur turns into a bird over millions of years of evolution, right? Okay.....so now think...you got this big plant eating machine, easy few tons. Sure, over time I can easily see it shrinking in size due to say food source growing slimmer. And I will even give the fact that feathers could start as a down coat for warmth. And I could even go along with the fact this down later turned into actual feathers.

But here is my catch....its still a dino...but with feathers and smaller. But now the hands start to change to wings over thousands if not millions of years of "evolution". Okay...when it was a dino it used its hands to eat, climb, grasp things....now it has no useless hands and part wing that is worthless. So now it starves and can't fly. And at this point...."evolution" states....the strongest survive. Well this dino is no longer the strongest as he can't eat, can't fly, can't grasp, nothing. Be like a no armed human...what can they do? (no offense to any).

Stop looking at the first animal and what it "changed into" and think of the process that would have to happen. Its like dad has a arm and out pops a kid from mom and it has a full blown wing, doesn't happen that way. It slowly ever so slowly changes over time. But that fact alone shows it can't happen as either you can't get by in your life during the change or you are now the weak and are eliminated by the stronger.

am I holding swiss cheese or what?

All the Austalopithicines, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and a host of other species that may or may not be before or after the human/chimpanzee split. The evolution if the horse is a well-known example in the fossil record. We have seen microevolution in action, and it is just the logical conclusion of that that is macro evolution. Do you know the precepts of natural selection? Basically, if it is true that there is variation among species, that there is a struggle for resources, and that some of those variations will be more advantageous than others, then some of those variations will be more advantageous and will survive, and some won't. This will create eventual change within the species and, over time, this can lead to differentiation between species.

Are you aware that some human infants are born with tails? It doesn't happen often, but it happens. Check the websites linked below if you don't believe me.

If God created all beings exactly as they are found now and evolution does not occur, how do you explain that some humans are born with tails? Was there ever a period documented in the Bible when people walked around with tails?

"A wealth of evidence supports this theory of re-expression by genes that have been turned off for millions of years. Most of it occurs in throwbacks, the rare appearance of ancient organs in species that, as a whole, had lost the anatomical features millions of generations earlier.

A good example is multi-toed horses. Modern horses belong to the same general group as tapirs, and tapirs have four toes on each forefoot. The single-toed modern horse evolved from a four-toed ancestor. Every so often a healthy, normal, single-toed mare gives birth to a colt that has little extra toes sticking out beside the big main toe. Zoologists point to this multi-toed foal as a case where natural processes allow a bit of the ancestral blueprint to show through, letting ancient ancestral traits re-express themselves.

Whales offer a more spectacular case. Modern whales have no hind legs at all, and even when all the blubber and muscle are flensed from the hip region, there is no remnant of the hip bones except a small splint representing the ilium. Even the oldest-known fossil whales display only slightly enlarged hip bones and some remnants of thigh and knee. But way back in their ancestry whales did have big hind legs, at a stage when they were land-living predators. And every once in a while a modern whale is hauled in with a hind leg, complete with thigh and knee muscles, sticking out of its side. These atavistic hind limbs are nothing less than throwbacks to a totally pre-whale stage of their existence, some fifty million years old.

Such throwbacks even occur in human infants. Hospitals occasionally register an entirely modern-looking baby characterized by all the expected organs, plus an unexpected tail, a long, caudal appendage protruding beyond the buttocks for two or three inches. Some of these tails are even bigger than the average caudal remnant displayed by our close kin, the chimps, gorillas, and orangutans.

Birds with teeth may have appeared ridiculous to creationists, but in point of fact modern birds do carry the ancestral genetic code for making teeth tucked away in their inactive file. No living species of bird manufactures teeth. But recent surgical manipulations of bird embryos demonstrate clearly that the potential is still there. In 1983, experimenters transplanted tissue from the inner jaw (dental lamina) of an unhatched chick to an area of the body tissue, where the graft could grow. In the transplanted position, the chick's dental lamina started to produce tooth buds! Birds with teeth could grow right in the twentieth century."

To start here is a definition of theology (the basics of religion)

theology
1. the field of study and analysis that treats of God and of God's attributes and relations to the universe; study of divine things or religious truth; divinity.
2. a particular form, system, branch, or course of this study.

Evolution does not fit this mould whereas creationism does.

science
1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
3. any of the branches of natural or physical science.
4. systematized knowledge in general.
5. knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by systematic study.
6. a particular branch of knowledge.
7. skill, esp. reflecting a precise application of facts or principles; proficiency

Evolution does fit the definition of science though (creationism does not)

If we start from here then I will answer the last part next. People get agressive because the same q is asked and answered all the time. This q doesnt understand the basic difference between theology and science which at best is ignorence.

Evolution has a lot ofevidence too much to write here, there is the fossil record, dated according to where it was found in geological terms. You may need to research geology to fully understand how the evoulutionary timeline is worked out (of couse creationists dont agree with this branch of science either).
The fossild of extinct and modern day creatures are then compared to see how they have changed over time. There is also evidence for spiecies adapting to thier changing environment over the fossil record too.

This website will explain it better that I can
http://www.txtwriter.com/backgrounders/Evolution/EVcontents.html

Remember science is updating all the time - we didnt come from monkeys we are from different branches of the same evoulutionary tree - namely primates. They do not believe there is a missing link between cro-magnon man and neanderthal anymore that believe we interbred and became on species. This is one of the ways in which science had evolved its theory.

Africans are black so that they can survive the sun. Light skinned people died out. Evolution. Aborigines have a vast ability to survive drought that white folk do not have. Those white folk died out. Evolution. I had a Margay as a pet. She is a cat that EVOLVED to live in a tree. Her hind feel reverse so she can go up and down a tree like a squirrel. The only cat in existance that does. EVOLUTION. Get the picture???

"and why are alot of you so agressive."

If someone were arguing with you that gravity was JUST a theory, (Which it is, in the same sense that Evolution is JUST a theory) If they asked uneducated questions that don't make sense, like : If gravity is real, why can birds fly? And making ad hominem attacks on Newton, as if that would refute gravity. And they aboslutely refused to deal with reality had a whole chorus of ignorant morons backing him up (and being aggressive and offensive about it) day in and day out, wouldn't you start treating them like the morons they are?

I don't believe in any God, but I also don't believe in Evolution. I used to but after proper research and not just accepting what they taught me in school I soon discovered that evolution just can't exist!!

People talk about new viruses and this must be evolution, but it isn't, all new viruses are two existing viruses coming together and creating a hybrid (its the same for dog's) once a flu virus always a flu virus, once a dog always a dog.

When bacteria gets immune to penicilin all it's doing is becoming immune, just like our own immune system, we can get used to a bacteria, our bodies just get used to it, it's the same for bacteria.

As I used to be an evolutionist, i understand how hard it is to believe that evolution doesn't exist but it is true, Dawkins doesn't have a clue when he babbles on? Dawkins basically talks out of his ****:
“Correlation is a false cause. ”
“Geometric differentiation cannot be explained stoichiometrically. ”
“Opinions are not data. ”
“Sophistication can only be developed with the presence of an information system. ”
“Opinions become facts through consensus made through a generally accepted protocol. ”
“Data may be agreed to be false where as it may not be agreed that a fact is false. ”
“Impressions are not causes. ”
“Reality is not a theory. ”
“First principles" are not data. ”

Evolutionists, don't just accept what is taught at school, do research on
1. 'Bacteria Flagella'
2. Read the actual theory by Darwin, he says himself that evolution can't exist!

I could go on and on....

I hope to heck that English isn't your first language.

As for believers in evolution being aggressive, it's because there's such a well-funded set of creationist propaganda groups attacking us.

Right now a museum in Kenya is trying to show an exhibit showing the evolution of humans using ACTUAL fossils. Christian groups everywhere have been up in arms about it, and the museum has been receiving bomb threats.....just do a search online for "Kenya museum evolution".

There's no such thing as 'evolutionist'. Science is something to be understood, not "believed in". Do you "believe in" gravity? Are you a gravitationist?

There are tens of thousands of examples. Perhaps you should start by reading some of Dawkins' books.
