Of course not
Creation not evolution
these are the same type people that "proved" the world was flat.

Creationists often argue that the probability that DNA ends up just the way it did is so unlikely that we may as well say it cannot happen. I have set out to find if there are any other "seemingly" unlikely phenonmen, but that happens daily. Radioactivity is such an example.

Take the amount of carbon found in your pencil. Let us assume the weight of that carbon is 1g. That means the pencil contains 5.02*10^22 molecules of carbon or so, and 3.94*10^19 or so molecules of carbon14. Carbon14 has an half life of 5.73*10^3 year => 1.8*10^11 seconds

Therefore, every seconds, 1.1*10^8 atoms of carbon radiates and 3.93*10^19 or so does not or, if you prefer, every 9.1*10^-9 seconds, 1 atom radiates.

So, let the pencil rest on your desk for 1 minute. Statisticaly, each carbon14 atom "rolls a coin" every 9.1*10^-9 seconds to see if it radiates or not. SURPRISINGLY, that means, after just 1 minute, 1.42*10^23 atoms rolled 3,96*10^11 tails in a row.

What were the odds that so many atoms rolled so many tails in a row in just the carbon in your tiny pencil??? Pretty low, yet it happens every single day (or should I say every minute).

There is much evidence, from convergent disciplines such as Biogeography, Molecular Genetics, Population Genetics, Comparative Morphology, Paleontology, Developmental Biology, Systematics, Immunology, etc.

For a single indisputable forensic proof of the evolutionary process simply do a phylogenetic comparison of short and long interspersed sequences of genetic junk within genes.

No. there is none.

Try to find volunteers who will be willing accept enough radiation doses to produce mutations if they are supposed to be so beneficial.

No fossils are being produced today.

Mindless, non-living matter is not creating DNA code sequences today.

Bigger and bigger words have not proved anything.

Variety of species but only within their kind. Each species having distinct and separate genetic blueprint.

No, I can't find any proof of evolution either.

Need not find proof for yourself. Others doing it for us. What we only need to do is whether the proof presented to us can actually supported by logic. Yes, evolution is true. It is the hand of God at work for us to perceive in time and space.

Here is my list. There is more, I just tried to stick with the easy to understand ones.

* Fossils - the order can be determined by stratification alone (no radiological dating) it is unarguable and life started simple and got more complex. Here is a simple chart to show what I mean: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/fossils/succession.html
* Anatomical similarities between species.
* Chemical similarities between species.
* Mitochondrial DNA regressive studies. - This comes only from your mother and the only changes to it are through mutations. These mutations occur at a known rate, and converge world wide 150,000 years ago give or take. If Eve (6000 years ago) was the only female, it would be almost identical world wide. It is not. The flood gives a second bottleneck that matches the facts even less well.
* Geographic distribution of related species. Meaning related species are usually near each other.
* Wisdom Teeth - there isn't room on your jaw for them anymore.
* Your little toe - totally useless. Nice intellegent design here.
* Your appendix - totally useless now but it does digest cellulose in other species.
* Your inner eyelids - They don't even work now, but they do for lots of other animals like house cats. Bet you didn't even know you had 'em.
* Vestigial DNA - meaning chromosomes that we have but don't use, but that used in other species. We have several that other primates use but are totally useless to us.
* The fact that we share so much DNA among species
* There are no wild cows. They evolved through artificial selection and are totally man made.
* Different breeds of dogs, cats, livestock.
* Viruses and bacteria evolve quickly and you can actually see it. This is why you need a new flu shot every year.
* Your tail bone. It is even not that uncommon to be born with a tail.
* Goosebumps - this would be useful if we had fur because it fluffs it and make more insulation. For us it is worthless.
* The hair standing up on your neck when you are frightened. Animals use this to make themselves look bigger. Doesn't work when you walk upright and don't have fur.
* The fact that humans have gotten measurably and heritablely taller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans jaw have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans little toes have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* Human lower back problems. Your back is intelligently designed to have support from your shoulders.
* Transitional fossils - here is a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils

A dog is a dog just as a man is a man. Color, texture, size or shape do not prove evolution. There are no crossover species to species changes. People keep looking and keep trying but it has never happened. Don't let the talkorigins.org fool you with it's double talk. Read it carefully and you'll see through the facade.

There is only proof for micro evolution ( different breeds of dogs etc.) There is no proof for macro evolution. check our Dr. Kent Hovind on the web at drdino.com

There is plenty of proof for evolution, just not for it being the origin of life.

Why do you think giraffes have lived next to tall trees with food at the top for thousands of years, and now they have necks taller than the rest of their bodies? Natural selection makes it so the giraffes with the short necks aren't able to reach the food, and so they die, and therefore don't reproduce offspring with short necks. This example can be applied almost anywhere if you look hard enough.
