In the last fifty years, an obesity epidemic has erupted throughout western nations. All those anarchist hippies will tell you its fast food chains like mcdonalds, burger king, and kfc that are fattening us up. IMBECILES!!! Even newborns today are alarmingly heavy; long before they would have time to gain the weight by actually eating! The culprit can be none other than....EVOLUTION!!
...now lets see you come up with a good argument against that ;)

Yummmm, evolution is wonderful, it allows for us atheists to enjoy nice fat babies, instead of those scrawny meatless ones.

*Yawns* The fossil record shows a progression of species. Saying that fossils only show an organism died shows that you are a moron. ONE fossil shows that. The entire collection, looked at together, show a progression of species. RadioISOTOPE dating (not just radio carbon dating, which is only used for samples younger than 50,000 years) does NOT give wild answers 99% of the time. That's just a flat-out lie. The appendix IS vestigial, but handily it has another use. If you claim that it's not the same organ used in apes to digest plant matter, you're lying. And since it's not the only vestigial organ (wisdom teeth, tail bone, body hair for example) your argument just collapsed there again. DNA similarities: your ignorance of them doesn't mean a helluva lot. And your moronic 'puddle of mud' addendum shows you don't actually care to learn the truth, you're just here to try and pretend that you're halfway intelligent. Sorry, you failed there. Right, next step: present YOUR evidence for creation and a young Earth. Also, show us exactly how speciation, which we have directly observed by the way, stops at a certain point to prevent animals changing 'kind' (which is also an ambiguous term that none of you creationist morons ever dares to define). In other words, put up or shut up. Idiot. Oh, by the way, while you're at it, please explain nylon-eating bacteria. Nylon is a synthetic fabric, developed in the 1930s. It exists nowhere in nature, never has. Therefore bacteria did not posess the capacity to digest it. Now, just over 70 years later, bacteria have arisen that DO have the capacity to digest it. Explain it, if God created everything and nothing has changed, how a species has suddenly developed an entirely new characteristic of that nature. Go on, I dare ya.

Amber sums it up nicely. I fully believe evolution (both macro and micro), but it sounds like you are implying that because infants and toddlers are fatter now than ever before that they should be defined as a new species? Anarchist hippies are imbeciles? I think you've smoked too much hookah.

amazing! that couldn't *possibly* be developmental! ;)
besides, proving macroevolution to creationists is a fool's errand. this is because the meaning of macroevolution, to a creationist, is apparently "that magnitude of change that has not been directly observed (with each atomic motion accounted for)". demonstrate that a particular occurrence is possible, and they will demand something else, which may not even be something that evolution would predict. "show me a cat giving birth to a dog".

Ooh, I haven't heard that. I'll have to look it up.
Have you heard of the new AIDS strands that hav developed immunities to medication? And the never ending proof that certain diseases have all but DISAPPEARED because we humans have evolved to the point we're immune?
I bet some Christian will say it's because they prayed about it.

There's plenty of proof for evolution, you just gave a shitty example. The birth weight of newborns usually reflects the mother's nutritional intake.

You are talking about adaptation.
When people talk of not believing in evolution they usually mean species to species evolution.
That doesnt prove anything about species to species evolution.

Ha, Ha ...yep that's gonna be tough to refute alright.

So we are evolving into human blimps?
