Actually, no. Metamorphosis doesn't prove anything. It all depends on your pre-bias. It could just as easily prove an amazing God who created such diversity in the animal kingdom.

The evidence of a tadpole's transition from fish to frog supports the theory of evolution, but doesn't prove it.

It depends on what you mean by evolution. See there are two types of evolution: micro evolution and macro evolution. Micro evolution is evolution at or below an organism's level. For example, a tadpole turning into a frog, that's normal. Macro evolution is evolution above an organism's level. Apes turning into humans and the theory of evolution would be some examples of macro evolution. I believe that God created the universe and everything in it according to it's kind. For this reason and other reasons, I believe only in micro evolution.

How? A tadpole is still a "member" of the amphibian species. A tadpole will always grow up to be a frog or toad. A tadpole will NEVER "evolve" into a bird or any other animal, which would be necessary to support the idea that we all came from a common "primate" ancestor or a single cell water creature.

No because a tadpole turns into A FROG! That is just the growing process of a tadpole into a frog. There is no animal that turns into a human. You don't just see human beings walking out of the jungles because they evolved from apes.

Not at all. A tadpole is a creature who changes and metamorphisizes (sp) as it grows. It doesn't evolve as it grows. Now if the same species of tadpole would grow into a different species of frog or toad depending on its enviroment, then it may be a valid statement. (note: i do believe in evolution)

Nope. It proves frogs develop from tadpoles. Tadpoles do not become frogs over millions of generations; they become frogs when they grow up.
I accept evolution, but remember, science doesn't look for proof, it looks for evidence. Evolution is about mutations over millions of generations, not on lifetime.

A tadpole does not evolve, it metamorphoses (into a frog)
Evolution is a process of gradual change of a species to adapt to the given environment.

Not at all... everything starts differently from birth or conception. All it proves is change. That frog may have been a tadpole but tadpoles are baby frogs, not birds, not horses, not rabbits... but baby frogs. Christians also know and believe there are changes within a kind but one kind never changes into another. Lizards were never birds and birds were never lizards.

Umm...no...
That's metamorphosis, not evolution. The evolution many people don't believe in is the theory of evolution, which states that humans evolved from natural selection instead of from a creator. A tadpole changing into a frog has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. It's just another example of the little miracles God has given us in daily life.
God bless!

It's a tiny piece of the puzzle. Its transformation into a frog is development, not evolution. The fact that humans, who never need a tail to swim, grow a tail that (usually) disappears into the body by birth, is better evidence of tetrapod common descent.
