All I asked was for your proof, remember, it is you who keep insisting that evolution is a fact. I am not asking you to believe what I believe. I am not asking you to subscribe to anything new. I am only asking for the PROOF/EVIDENCE of evolution because I assume you KNOW why you believe what you say you believe.
I got one straight answer, the rest was the usual nonsense, not giving an answer, just challenging my faith in God as the Creator.
This question is NOT about God, its about YOUR faith in what you keep saying is a fact.
Your proof/evidence please that evolution is a fact? Don't tell us why others believe, tell us the facts that make you a believer? Don't attack those who disagree with you,this is a question, once again here it is............................
Your proof/evidence please that evolution is a fact?

There was a theory, i forget whose it was, it was called "Catastrophism" -- it stated that major catastrophes occured around the world, and that some species instantly died -- and then new species were formed instantly.
How could this be ..?
I have had 2 teachers, to whom I asked this question to. The first stated that ofcourse there must have been a survivor or two of the original species. -- But, wouldn't you need thousands of years for evolution to occur for the new species to have arrived? And if so, where are the fossils of the species in between .. ?
My second teacher said he didn't know, which was annoying at first, but i realized what can he say to something that is wrong?
You see, that which is right is infinite,and has infinte proof and reasons, that which is wrong is finite, and does not have much proof.
another thing you may want to look into is that scientists still don't know the time of singularity. why?

Well, e-mail me and I'll send you a copy of Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. You want me to give you all of that information in a Yahoo answer? Read it for yourself with an open mind, if you can. And why aren't you asking this question in the Biology or Earth Sciences section? You are being disengenous when you say this question is NOT about God....if you are asking in the Religion section, then it is about God.

you can say that evolution is a fact just by looking at fossils, evolution means that populations of organisms have changed over time, the fossil record shows changing organisms over time, ergo evolution is a fact
and evolution has nothing to do with the validity of biblical creationism, the world may or may not have been created by some sort of a god, but that has nothing to do with evolution, evolution does not deal with how life originated on earth, just how we have the diversity of life seen on earth, you are misinformed or being told the wrong things by someone if you think creationism (which may or may not be factual) and evolution conflict, they do not describe the same thing

Do you realize that America is probably the only Christia country where A LOT of people believe in creationism?!!! I mean, they are Chritstiansm, but they don't believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible! I'm not saying that, just because the whole world believes in evolution, you have to believe them just like that. But still...!!!

An imperfect human pelvis, vestigial traits, introns in the genome, human toes, embryonic development, mitochondrial DNA, the fossil record, lungfish, the Bubonic Plague killing only 1/3 of Europe's population instead of 85+%, spear-hunting by chimps, and much much more. I don't believe, I know!

Simple proof:
Every dog on this planet is a product of selective breeding from wolves.
Would you consider a Chihuahua the same as a timber wolf?
No?
Evolution proved.

You dodged the one man's answer which gave a pretty good analogy - viral strands.
Viral strands evolve very quickly; they develop new strands of the virus that are immune to our attempts to neutralize it. Bacteria also evolve quickly, such as those that have now become immune to penicillin.
That's proof above all. Next time, don't try to dodge out an answer just because you know it's true and you don't like that it is.

Things that evolve or adapt are not proof that the theory of evolution is where and how humans got here.
The problem with evolution, and sorry I had to answer here,
well lets use the Big Bang theory, for example. It defies the law of thermodynamics. How, if there was nothing, did something come out of it without a CREATOR that was already here!
How did God get here? Well where is HERE. He created time as we know it. He created space as we know it.
I have to give credit and I did not come up with this, but what an analogy a person gave to an earlier question:
The buildings downtown . . . . . did you watch them while they were being built? Did you see the plans? If you didn't then how do you know there was a builder? Of course there was a builder!!! The same thing, just look around you of course there was a creator!!!!!!!!!
God Bless

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken! The evolutionists have this opinion of their belief, they don't want to believe in another belief.
