Its the nearest "condensed" confirmation I've ever seen.
Its from a talk by a guy called Ken Miller. (Don't worry the link is just a talk with a slide presentation and the clip is less than 5 minutes long).
This was originally posted by somebody who appears to have been kicked off Y/A. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to me!
Now what I like about the clip is this is an evolutionist who uses evolution to make a prediction about the world and then tests that prediction in full knowledge that if its not as expected his theory is in trouble.
Does anyone have any similar predictions (ie potential falsifications) that have be made by either Creationists or ID adherents? Have they been tested?

Steve, the "what difference" comes toward the end. This is not explicable by Intelligent Design! Its a deciding experiment Intelligent Design is busted.

Thanks for posting that! He's giving a talk at Clemson University on Feb 19th, I can't wait to see it. Very cool about the chromosones; I didn't know that.

Only question he fails to answer is why are monkeys still here? The earth can survive without monkeys and apes so the why of it is still the biggest question out there. And it is interesting but useless information. Comes under the heading of "who cares?" What difference would it make if he could be proven true? And surely if evolution is based on natural selection as evolutionists claim then why wouldn't we have the same abilities as primates? And don't give that me old "evolved brain power instead" bull crap. If we evolved by natural selection we would be as strong as monkeys, have tails, have feet to use as hands, etc. And still have the brain power!

I wouldn't say Evolution has not been 100% conformed as of yet, but it sure makes a lot more sense than some god saying poof and things coming into existence.

There is no confirmation,man did not come from apes or from any other animal and there is no such thing as dinosaurs or a bunch of giant lizards walking around here on Earth and then they all vanished into thin air.
Yes ,bones were found but anyone with any intelligance about them at all would know that the bones that were supposedly found and are still being found were and are exaggerated about it's origons and links.
