Ladies and Gentlmen, boys and girls, Fireball whatever you are; I bring you proof positive of Evolution. "It's pretty much my favorite animal."
The LIGER!

The damn thing is a big as a horse and it's fast and strong. I bet it's got laser eyes too. Just amazing.
Jokes aside, one could put it forth as an example of a new species that has increased in information, one of the sticking points of Creationists no?

Ok, clearly no one knows how awesome this animal is. No this was not meant to be a cerebral argument for or against Evolution, merely an anicdotal one.
"GOSH!"

*sigh* apparently another joke that I thought was funny is beyond others, or my sense of humor just sucks. Would it be better if i had somehow snuck in the word "crocoduck"?

"It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. "

Ligers do not happen in the wild and much like the Jack *** which is a cross between a horse and a donkey, It cannot reproduce. Funny that the Jack *** is a proper term for a real animal but Yahoo has taken it upon them selves to censor me. By the way the off spring of a male donkey and a female horse is a Jenny.

It's not a new species. It's a hybrid, like a mule is a hybrid from a horse and a donkey. The parents are different species, but related close enough to produce (infertile) offspring.
It won't convince Creationists. They will say it is only micro-evolution, that the great cats just reproduced "after their own kind".

Lions and tigers are in the same species category. You would need to prove evolution across a species line, to account for for ape - human evolution.
Same species "evolution" or "cross breeding" happens all the time. Let the scientists try breeding a pig and a bird. If they succeed, then I might give evolution "some" credit.

I've always put forth the example that all dogs on this planet are a product of human controlled selective breeding.
Unless someone would claim that a Chihuahua is the same as a timber wolf, evolution is proven.

??? a crossbreed proves evolution? and here I thought that actually choosing the mate and genetic variance were the culprit. how ignorant of me.
cats are all the same, just different breeds. I don't go to links. I know what a liger is

The Liger, mixing of Tiger and Lion has been going on for years. This is not a new thing and it is not evolution. It is crossbreading. We do it with dogs, cats, plants. Take a class on genetics, na forget that, start off small, try biology for the developmentally disabled.

Liger is a sterile crossbreed, like a Mule.
(It's proof of the definition of species, BTW)
The biological definition of two distinct species is something that can't produce fertile offspring when mated together....

I've always wondered if the mule was good enough. It's not a horse, not a donkey. It's a mule.

Sorry, but you prove nothing of evolution or religion in this. Come up with some proof of all animals coming from nothing for that please.
