what definite proof is there for evolution?

Answer 1

there is none

Answer 2

Yes, there is. If you look at the animals on the Galapagos Islands there is proof of evolution. This is an exert from my paper on Evoultion after wathing Voyage to the Galapago;


Darwin's Finches mostly located on island Daphne Major, are the classic examples of how living things adapt to their environment. Each of the 13 species in the Galapagos has a different beak that suits its lifestyle, from feeding off cactus flowers to using twigs to dig out insects from the bark of trees. The ground finches are the most common species on the islands. The large ground finch with a thick heavy beak perfect for cracking open large tough seeds. The shaped-beaked ground finch, by contrast, eats mainly smaller seeds. Researchers have found that when small seeds are plentiful, usually in rainy years, the beaks of the birds born the following year are, on average, smaller. When there are plenty of large seeds, drier years, the next generation has beaks that are larger. This is evolution and natural selection right before your eyes. This is what is happening. In every generation of finches, there is a range of beak sizes, some a little smaller than the average, some a little larger. When small seeds are plentiful, the smaller-beaked birds are the more efficient eaters.
Therefore, they thrive and produce more offspring than the larger-beaked birds. The result is that in the next generation, there are more small than large-beaked birds. The average beak size is smaller than the last generation. The population has evolved.

There is your proof!

Answer 3

There is no "definite proof" for evolution. Science doesn't work like that. You pose a hypothesis and you try like hell to prove it wrong - over and over and over. If you suceed, it must be false. If you are unable to disprove your hypothesis, it is the theory of how it actually works.

For evolution there are literally hundreds of thousands of experiments that have tried very hard to disprove it, and none of them can do it. That is why in science it is called the "theory of evolution." It is not an untested hypothesis, it is a theory that has withstood rigorous testing and still stands.

Answer 4

There is no definite proof for evolution. It is only a theory. People may say - the fossils are proof of evolution, but the fossils actually disprove evolution. If evolution were true, there would be transitional forms of each animal. None of these transitional forms have been found. People would have found them by now because there would be so many of them. You do not need to go into a deep study (only if you want to) to find out if there is proof. There are very simple things that can be shown to disprove it.

Answer 5

Go and take biology, geology, and paleontology classes. It will take you a few years to get to all of the details. However, there is way too much to answer here. The biology will show you the relationship among the life forms and how evolution led to that. The geology can be used to show the age of the earth and how the earth came to be in its current physical state. The paleontology will show you the fossils from all of the different time periods and how one group of fossils led to the next group of fossils.

The only way you are going to get the definate proof you are asking for is to go and study the subject in detail at college.

Answer 6

Okay, start with watching the Discovery Channel, then pick up just about any of Charles Darwins books.

Start following the progression of dinosaurs, and watch the direction some of the critters goes.

There is lots of scientific evidence you just have to be interested enough to find it. Its not like Creationism, where you have basically one source book.

Answer 7

Science in general doesn't deal in "definite proof." So, there is none. If you want to "prove" something, go into mathematics.

Now, evolutionary theory is the best explaination of the facts and data we collect. It, like all of science, can be replaced by a theory that better explains our natural world. Currently, there is no such better theory.

Answer 8

there are millions of pieces of evidence in all fields of life sciences e.g. microbiology....zoology...paleantology...chemistry...biochemistry....archaelogy. They all give evidence to support the theory of evolution.

And just to let u know....you cannot prove anything but the fact you do exist. Everything else you see or know could be casted into doubt.

And look....gravity is also a theory.....better known as the theory of gravity discovered by issac newton. Now....can u not believe in this theory and fly off of a building? No, u will drop like a rock....and the theory of evolution is just like that. Gravity.

Answer 9

Fossil records
Hobbits found in New Zealand
The fact that everything is more than 10,000 years old

The list really just keeps going on and on.

In reality it is not evolution who decides who lives and dies... it's Chuck Norris.

Answer 10

try looking up the evolution of the horse. then read anything by stephen j gould, then take a course at your local college in evolutionary biology. good luck
