Of course. There is a ton of evidence. 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 intelligent 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 are 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 milk 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 makes 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 heritability taller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans jaw have gotten measurably and heritability smaller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans little toes have gotten measurably and heritability smaller since the 1600s
* Human lower back problems. Your back is intelligently designed to have support from your shoulders.
* Transitional fossils - here are several lists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils

I don't either. Evolution is not a cult for anyone to believe in, it's just a scientific explanation for the diversity of life. There is no believing. It just is.

How can you deny something to which there is an abundance of evidence to support? Saying life didn't evolve is like saying there is no gravity. Gravity is still a theory but it is a very sound theory & one supported by evidence. The same is true for evolution!

Follow the evidence not man made stories!

Thats becuase you have been forced to believe that it is a lie. but the facts, are facts. evolution has be PROVEN. you have to be an idiot to deny solid evidence. more solid than the word of a 2000 year old heap of papers, or saggy old preist.

The evidence supports evolution. Don't you like evidence?

of course. The only reason you don';t believe in it is because you have either been spoon fed ridiculous creationist propaganda, or because you have not learned anything about it.

You should. It's a scientific fact.

Do you also not believe in the theory of gravity?

2007-03-20 23:51:58 · answer #7 · answered by Anonymous · 3 2

Yes and creation too. The two are the same, one physical and one spiritual. Nuff said.

Your a closet case.

I don't believe - I accept it based on the overwhelming evidence. And so would you, if you were at all honest to yourself and knew anything about it.
