Evolutionists: Can you prove that I came from a tadpole?

Question

that turned into a fish, that turned into a lizzard, that turned into a gerbil, that turned into a monkey, that turned into a human being?

I'm ready for Big Words, so bring em on, I'm all ears.

Answer 1

Tadpoles turn into frogs as a rule. There is plenty of evidence to support evolution, but in my experience, it's a complete waste of time trying to discuss it with religious people as they simply get defensive because they know there is no such evidence to back up their beliefs. I don't mind what anyone believes as long as they don't try to tell me they're right and I'm wrong.

Answer 2

It depends on what you mean by prove. Now, I know that you mean those particular animals as an example, because, literally speaking, your being silly (tadpoles aren't a kind of animal, they're baby frogs, which would have evolved after fish). But you really just mean (I think), the overall trend from simple organism to complex organism. And, of course, there is no such thing as proof (scientists don't believe in proof, they believe in offering the best theory based on the most accurate observations and experimentation). But if you mean evidence then:

If you mean present scientific evidence that species change over time, then yes. If you mean also genetic evidence that shows a very close relationship between certain species that would match with the historical/fossil record, then yes. If you mean a description of the physical world consistent with these animals (i.e., a geological record that indicates that certain species would have done better, and that there would have been reasons why adaptation would have been prefered), then yes. If you mean a photographic or fossil record showing specifically every single one of your biological ancestors, then no. So, what would you accept as "proof?"

Answer 3

Why is it people who ask these questions demonstrate a near complete ignorance of Biology?

Is there something to be proud of: showing how stupid one can be?

A tadpole is a stage in the life-cycle of an amphibian, which is between a fish and a "lizzard".

And lizards are fairly recent reptiles, which are offshoots from the reptiles that also gave rise to reptiles that eventually evolved into mammals (such as gerbils).

Gerbils are rather specialized rodents, and are not on the evolutionary line that produced monkeys.

And monkeys first produced apes, which in turn, eventually, produced humans.

One more thing, frogs (of which tadpoles are a stage in their life-cycle) were not amongst the first amphibians which gave rise to reptiles. No evolutionist worth his or her salt would suggest humans evolved from that branch of amphibians.

Aren't you glad you asked?

Answer 4

Evolutionists cannot even figure out when species started to evolve eyes because the eye has been around since the beginning. There are no fossil records showing a gradual evolution of the eye in any species. If this is wrong please email me some proof texts. Thanks!

BTW: The most brilliant mathmeticians do not buy into the lie of evolution as it pertains to something from nothing. That is not to say that species evolve or adapt. The fossil records do prove adaptation, but they do not prove something from nothing and species to species. Think of the eye.

Answer 5

first of all its lizard*. if you are going to ask a question then use spell check its right there. now back to your question. you didnt come from a tadpole because millions of years ago there were really no such thing as a tadpole. nor were there such things as gerbils or monkeys for that matter. an ancestor of all of them EVOLVED into what we now call a monkey, gerbil, and yes even human.

look at a biology book, or even better, attend a basic high school biology class. that should answer all of your questions.

btw next time you feel the need to ask a question about evolution and how it works go to the science section, im sure they can explain it alot better than anybody here.

Answer 6

I think you will have grasped from the other answers that this is NOT what evolution suggests. What I'll add is that the best explanation for the fact that hands, wings, fins and other appendages are based on the same structure is evolution. An engineer (or intelligent designer) would have designed each one in the best way for each individual purpose, whereas evolution works with what is there and modifies it. From a young-earth creationist standpoint, would you argue that God created human eyes first, then thought "Ooh, I'll bet if I wire it the other way around it will fix this blind spot!" and went on to make the octopus and squid eyes that way? From your perspective, did God make parasites to feed off other living things and eat them alive? What did God want us to learn from the various sorts of midges that digest their mate during the sex act so that the male's sex organ breaks off inside the female, helping fertilization apparently? With the knowledge we have of the natural world, only evolution can leave room for belief in God - otherwise you have to believe in an inept and sadistic designer. Yet you seem determined to fight against it!

Answer 7

It sounds absolutely ridiculous when you actually say it huh? And if I evolved..then there must be something Im evolving into? And if I evolved from monkeys...why are there STILL monkeys? and tadpoles...and lizards...?? and where are all the bones of the half tadpole, half lizzard, half monkey man people?

Answer 8

Nope, I can't prove it to you, nor can anyone else, regardless of how much scientific evidence we present or how many highly educated biologists agree with that evidence.

It can't be proven to you because you have already closed your mind to the possibility of anything being true, except what you already believe because it was written in a book thousands of years ago, before real science even existed. Your mind is closed, period.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Answer 9

No... but I don't think anyone is trying to tell you that you came from a tadpole. I believe the theory has a bit more to do with single celled to multi-cellular organisms... but what do I know I only took science in high school.

Answer 10

Can't prove that because it didn't happen. You didn't come from a tadpole, or a gerbil, or a monkey...
The theory of evolution does not say that.
