Can anyone give me solid proof of evolution?

Answer 1

No one can.

Its an unproven "Theory".

The more we learn, the more clear it becomes that the "Theory of Evolution" is wrong.

Leap seconds disprove evolution.

The mapping of human DNA disproves evolution.

The rate at which the Moon is moving further away from the Earth each year is proof that disproves evolution.

Answer 2

That's so funny. In this day and age, someone asking for evidence backing up evolution is like someone asking for evidence that gravity is the force that keeps our feet on the ground (it is gravity by the way and not angels holding us down so we don't float away, in case that's what you thought). It's that well established scientifically and there is absolutely no controversy about this in the scientific community whatsoever.

We have an immense fossil record and tons of DNA evidence. Try reading a book on biology. Try reading the origin or species. I'm sure you've never read any of these things. Try reading any book besides the bible, as the bible contains zero science. Until you do, you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to any scientific discussion.

I am very sorry that you are unable to reconcile your personal religious beliefs with the facts.

Answer 3

Flu shots.

The Flu shot people got last winter will be different than the flu shot they get this winter. The virus will have evolved to be resistant to the past inoculation, so a new shot is being developed.

Pretty simple, pretty solid example of evolution.

Another example?

For thousands of years, people read the poetry of Genesis chapter 1 for what it was, poetry, but over time, it has evolved to be thought of as a literal description of creation, which it isn't. (Here's a clue - how did two 'days' go by, before the sun was created to divide the day from the night?)

Answer 4

I can give you 4 things in your body that are part of evolution:

1) Your third eyelid: this is the part between your eye ball and the beginning of the eye close to the nose - This used to be a functional eyelid but now lies as a useless muscle

2) 3 muscles around your ear: These muscles radiate out (one perpendicular to the ear toward the head and two parallel to the ear on both sides) - these were used for turning the ear like cats or dogs do. These do not work now.

3) Post-natal tail bones: All of us have a post-natal tail! If you see the skeleton of any human, you can see a set of bones which stretches out behind the pelvic bone. This bone does not protrude out because of its diminished size and hence there is no visible 'tail'!

4) Appendix: this organ is known to be another useless piece in our body. Some believe it had functions for digesting specific foods which humans no longer eat.

These are called vestigial organs and lose their use with evolution.

There are vestigial organs found in whales, pythons and the like.

Also, the embryos of almost all animals on earth have gills at one stage and look exactly the same!

Answer 5

If you take fruitflies, and grow them in a tissue culture flask (150mL will do) on banana agar for food, then divide them into two flasks, then take each of the flasks and allow the population to grow for 3-5 years (obviously, you will have to change the flasks and replace the agar as needed) without allowing the populations to breed or to be interacted with by outside fruitflies, you will reach a point where the virgin females of one flask can't mate with the males of the other and vice verse.

This is speciation, and it's been observed thousands of times.

You can actually increase the rate of speciation by growing said fruitflies in very different conditions, even though you started out from the same population.

As for simple proof of evolution..... (Evolution is the change in allelle frequency in a population over time)
The feral cats at the docks near my house 3 years ago were nearly all gray, and were not polydactyl. Now they are mostly black and white, and almost all polydactyl. That's because polydactyly is a dominant gene and dilute (makes a cat gray not black, cream not orange) is a simple recessive and bicolor is a co-dominant. That population, in three years, has exhibited a new FREQUENCY of allelles.

I notice that your avatar is called saved. It's no wonder that the only people opposed to evolution do so for religious reasons. This link describes the various creationist/i.d. claims and the science against them.

Evolution is both a theory and a fact. Some people like the poster above do not know what they are talking about in scientific theory. Gravity is also a theory. Here is the definition:

"In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality. True descriptions of reality are more reflectively understood as statements which would be true independently of what people think about them. In this usage, the word is synonymous with hypothesis.

In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theories commonly used to describe and explain this behaviour are Newton's theory of universal gravitation (see also gravitation), and general relativity."

Answer 7

I suggest that you do what I did. I used to get two books favoring creationism and two books favoring evolution from the library. I'd study and compare them. When I finished with them, I'd get 4 more of the same type and compare again. I still do that at times. if you do that, you will find that there is much evidence to support evolution and none at all favoring creationism, creation science, intelligent design or whatever genesis myths mixed with pseudo-science are called now. There is much proof, and I have no time to write a book here. You can read books for yourself. Do you want proof?

Answer 8

not without travelling back in time and watching it happen. the fossil record seems to point to change over time of lots of life forms. science doesn't really give us solid proof of anything. it just attempts to make sense of the world. some evidence points more strongly to particular conclusions than others and theories become laws, but mostly just a bunch of theories. in order for evolution to be proven beyond doubt, it would have to be observable in the lab and the results would have to be consistent. therefore, since each 'experiment' would have to last thousands of years to be useful, and these experiments would have to be repeated many times, it is impossible for a scientist to complete the process of proving evolution since even the healthiest scientist won't live long enough. and so, it remains a theory and will for quite some time. as long as we're talking about proof of things that are hard to prove, is it possible to disprove evolution or to prove creation? not scientifically, i think. the Bible tells us about creation, but believing the story requires faith, not proof.

Answer 9

I can give you good evidence of survival of the fittest, which can over time lead to evolution...

Bacteria as you know reproduce very quickly, so this is one of the best ways to observe. If you have a colony of bacteria in a petri dish and apply and antibiotic, most of the bacteria will die. However, some will survive, the ones that were stronger and perhaps had some small mutation that made them more immune to the antibiotic. These bacteria will reproduce stronger bacteria that are also immune to the antibiotic. After a couple million generations of bacteria, you have a bacteria that is totally antibiotic resistant.

Answer 10

None that you would accept. I know this game too-

Here is an example of a question that would have a chance at the 10 points:

Noppe nune at all, grate question that shure will get them! Must hav ben G-D!


If you actually want anything other than an argument that you will ignore, go read something- or go ask this question in the Science section- where there are people who know more about it than most of us will. We aren't going to explain a scientific process that would take a college course just to sum up. If you don't want to do any research on your own, go read your Bible like we did when we WANTED to do a little research.

Answer 11

Yes. Evolution began as an hypotheses. It next evolved into a theory. Today, it has evolved into a fact. I have just conclusively proven the evolution of the word "evolution" and that's the only part of evolution that is provable. I have always thought it interesting that a lot of people try to disprove an unprovable Creation with the unprovable theory of evolution.
