Why do scientists keep fininding fossil evidence of other hominids? Why are there so many creatures being dug up that resemble bipedal primates? How come scientists are able to show timelines that show the series of slow changes that evolved primates into hominids and then early hominids into later, more advanced species like homo sapiens?
How come scientists can mark the genetic changes brought on by environmental pressure in microbes, fruitflies and other fast-reproducing species?
Unless you are willing to argue that ignorance is better than knowledge then it couldn't hurt to research the topic of natural selection and the development of early hominids from reputable sources of course.

And why do there seem to be so many failed branches of the primate family tree?

More points; how can you believe in natural selection and not evolution? The two are the same. And if evolution doesn't explain the differences in various species, what does?
And if you are too lazy to do the research (look at the pictures of fossils, read scientific findings in magazines, then you have no right to demand that someone else "show" you the evidence. It's called the internet people!

Also: In the fruit fly experiments they created a population that was immune to every kind of pesticide. They just kept spraying and killing, until all the survivors had immunities to the stuff. They end the expriment to keep these super flies from getting out.

They will NEVER acknowledge that any transitional fossils have been found.
NEVER.

I'm a Christian and while I don't believe in evolution. I do believe in natural selection. I was once a believer in young earth creationism but after researching it i no longer hold that view.
From what I have read about the fruit fly experiments that even though scientists have tried to make them evolve that none of the adaptations have been benifical and that the offaspring that have been produced didn't survive.

Well, there are many who have no problem with micro-evolution, the gradual change of a species. It is macro-evolution, the change of one creature into another that people find so fantastic. And even all the so-called "transitional" creatures, it is arguable that they were just a failed species, but not necessarily the ancestors of another species. I'd like to see more work with DNA, like they just did with the t-rex. The nearest living relative is the chicken. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

When someone shows me this evidence instead of just telling me it exists, I will make a decision then. But until then it is merely hearsay.

well, humans r very much genetically related to animals, but the similarity doesnt not implie a sequence of evolution.
say we use milk to make cream, cheese, sour cream, ice cream, can u say one is evolved from another? no, all of them are made by me!
the word evolution, evolution is the gradual change of gene frequency in population, it happens and it is under natural/artificial selection, but what i am saying is there is no evidence saying humans r evolved from monkey etc

Does your belief in evolution eliminate any possibility of having a belief in God?

So? Scientists have discovered many things that were created by GOD.
GOD is infinite so I am sure lots of things have been going on for billions of years..
GOD did not show up 6000 years ago he is the Alpha and the Omega

i know the answer to the last question. it is because the that animal evolved less effiecently than others, so it died out

Don't you know? *God* put all that stuff there to test us and our faith in him...or maybe...Satan put all that there to confuse us and make us lose faith in god...yeah, that's it...Satan.....
