I have records of our Family that go back to the 16th century. The men averaged 5' 1 and the women 4' 5--there are some number conversion so these aren't absolute. The Babies averaged 5.5 pounds.
Now, the men average 5'10 and the women 5' 6". Babies average 8 pounds.
Using the techinical prescritions of science, that is Evolution in human beings.
Advances in nourshment aid, but, do not take the place of evolution.

Bravo! You are correct.
Unfortunately, no amount of logic will work on a creationist. If they had logic and common sense they would not believe in creationism in the first place.

PPl may change oveer the years due to many things, such as nutriton, their conditions where they live, etc.
But those changes dont mean evolution. If you say evolution just means we change some, most could go there a little, but not far.
But, evolution does not mean we came from something else. IN other words, we didnt come from apes or donkeys or dinosaurs. we were always human, created him and staying human, even tho we have made changes over the years. PPL are getting bigger on the whole, but a lot of that is ppl did not used to get much nutrition, let alone to be taking vitamins and minerals and all of that. Yes, advanses in nourishment can do all of that. But, we did not evolve from another speciies. God says He made us into HIs image. He made us human beings. even as an unborn baby in the womb, if you test , it is human dna, and growing, so therefore its a live human, and should never be aborted for ANY reason.
I have no knee jerk reaction to you . I only speak the truth as God speaks it. He said He made us, who are you to question that? Are you God? No. Me eitehr. BUt, what God says, settles it for me. Hope one day you are there too.
Do you see any half monekys running around, half human , half moneky or any of that. If we came from monkeys, there would be some of that. Its ludicrous. no half moneksy ever.
But, we grow and change as humans all the time. just like other speciies change. From going to cold water, to warm water, they change. FISH I MEAN. BUt, they were always fish. God created them too, FISH, even tho there are many species, and each one suitied to where they are at. no accident there. God knows what He is doing. Praise GOD>

Everything is in a constant state of change, I don't know if what you speak of is evolution or not.. It may be simple genetics- each generation might have reproduced with somebody taller than them.
How does being taller help one to survive more effectively in this niche?

What made you decide it wasn't improved nourishment, hygene, health and the family marrying taller people from other families?
A bout of rhubella in a baby can shrink 'em. Measles, mumps, small pox. Let's not mention that most people got typhoid more than anually in the 16th century.

The measurement system was not as established as it is today. So there is some difference.
Yes people are taller. We are taller and fatter than we were 50 years ago.
Evolution, not really.
Just think of all the drugs and vaccines available today.
I think that is more relevant.

It has nothing to do with evolution and everything to do with only the strong survived ,
