    The evidence for evolution comes from every branch of science that remotely interacts with organisms. This includes, to name but a few, anatomy, biology, embryology, genetics, neurobiology, and paleontology - which in turn includes every sub-field of these sciences, such as anthropology, biogeography, chronological dating, comparative anatomy, fossils, molecular biology, and the list goes on and on and on and on…
    The point being here is that everything we objectively know about the natural world both supports and improves the theory of evolution by natural selection, whether we like it or not! This is 9 Proofs of Evolution - Why Evolution is True.
    Now to present all of the evidence for evolution would take eons, and would bore even Darwin, Dawkins and Jay Gould, and so if you’re really interested in reviewing all of the overwhelming evidence for evolution, then this video isn’t it… what it is, however, is just nine lines of evidence from several fields of study which by themselves alone make a very convincing case.
    Needles to say, please watch the video for an adequate explanation of each line of evidence, as what follows is just a brief outline (due to a cap on description length).
    1. Forelimbs of Whales:
    Within their flippers, whales have, just like the forelimbs of land mammals, finger, hand, wrist, and arm bones, which can be easily explained if these bones are repurposed forelimbs, but are remarkably hard to explain if they’re not, as after all, these bones have very little in common with non-mammal fins, and yet a great deal in common with the forelimbs of land mammals.
    2. Hind legs of Whales:
    Whales have strange bones that look like shrivelled hip, thigh and shin bones where land mammals have hind legs, and some of these bones, such as these (on screen) from a bowhead whale, even have what appears to be a ball and socket joint… further still, palaeontologists have found numerous species within the fossil record that have unique similarities with whales, but also varying sizes of hind legs.
    3. Left recurrent Laryngeal nerve in Mammals:
    Without getting to technical, this nerve runs from the brain to the voice box, which should be a distance of a few inches, but instead it goes down into the chest, loops around a main artery, and then goes back up to the voice box, which in the case of the giraffe results in a 15 foot detour… “A mistake that no engineer would ever make!”
    However, in animals without a neck, such as fish, the most direct route for this nerve is indeed by navigating round the artery, and hence, if mammals evolved from fish-like ancestors, we can easily explain why this absurd design exists. But if, on the other hand, we want to insist that it was deliberately created this way by a designer, then, well, we certainly can’t call this designer intelligent…
    Unfortunately, due to a cap on description length, you’ll have to watch the video to see 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
    --
    DNA Similarity Explained:
    Within this video I mention that we share X% of our DNA with certain organisms, and I stress and emphasis the words ‘of comparable DNA’ because that exactly what it is… of the DNA ‘that is comparable’, we share X% with these organisms. However, there is plenty of DNA in all of these organisms that is so different to ours that it can’t be compared, and this is why some studies show as low as a 90% similarity between humans and chimps, while other studies show as high as 99% similarity. It all depends on how you measure it.

      +Rationality Rules At :45 seconds, you have a drawing that is shown to be fraudulent. Might want to edit that out.
      1 and 2?) Similarities do not prove relation. The problem with whales is the tail. It cannot be explained with any evidence.
      3) The nerve example does not prove evolution.
      4 and 5)DNA does not prove relation either. Living in the same world would require similar DNA. Evolution itself is filled with Many hell of coincidences. The perhaps millions of morphological changes that are required to go from land to sea.
      6) Dogs are NOT proof of evolution rather proof of natural selection because ALL of the genetic coding for traits already existed. No new DNA is created when breeding dogs. All that happens is proteins are being turned on or off. Whats more, no matter how much dogs change, they stay dogs.
      7) The moths and crickets are just natural selection, Nothing more. No new DNA was created. The Greenish Warbler birds are still birds.
      Your number sequence is a bit off and you never mentioned "Random genetic mutations over time is the cause of diversity". Good call sense it has no actual evidence that supports it.

      Funny thing about "science," it [they / atheist scientists] has been forced to recall falsehoods far more often than theologians. Evolution is on revision 4, and the Big Bang is on Revision 5. Big universities are starting to take *abiogenesis* out of their text books as a debunked idea. Bible is on Rev-. And the better data in recent decades has not only debunked previous evolutionary "proofs" but also shown remarkable consistency with recent global flood and non-descendant speciation.

      This doesn't contradict evolution. It demonstrates that creatures can't evolve out of a group but only diversify within it. This is why birds for example, are still considered a type of a dinosaur even though they are very different from some extinct dinosaurs. The only difference between "microevolution" and "macroevolution" is that the latter takes millions of years.

      ​@@dibershai6009ok first off evolution is a load of crap fake science. There is no mechanism for macro evolution. Your so called micro evolution is just adaptation nothing more. There are fish that the entire shape and bone structure can change in one generation depending on what and how it's feeding. That's not evolution it's already in the dna to do that. Common ancestry is a dream you can't prove it without dna. You can make fossils sing what ever song you want. On top of all that, you don't have millions of years in the fossil record. There have been over 250 soft tissue finds world wide now and those contain proteins like collagen and Actin. There is plenty of evidence showing how fast they break down. So the very fact we find those means all those fossils are just a few thousand years old. No more. Secular scientists are pointing out there couldnt be collagen in the fossils after 1 million years so even they know there is a problem. So there are multiple reasons why evolution is a lie can't happen and has never happened.

      @AllSeeingEye ofGod Your problem is that you have decided what the answer is and set out to pick fragments you think back up this view. Science looks at the world and tries to find out what they are observing and how to make sense of it. Like, if god was with Adam and Eve from the beginning, why was it that only the Twelve Tribes of Israel had knowledge of it? How would it make sense that, until about 2,000 years ago, nobody outside Israel knew of Christianity? Why are there no traces of it prior to about 1200 BCE anywhere? Speaking humans were around for about 50,000 years before any of them found your god. The Jews weren't Egyptian slaves, the Exodus didn't occur, no Exodus = no Moses, there was no global flood, the bible copied many stories that predated the Jews, nobody knows who wrote most of the bible. Nobody seemed to be aware that Jesus existed for decades after his death. Why would any rational person believe this?

As famous I have been able to establish, we don't appear to know what gravity 'is', we only have good descriptions of how it behaves. If it's simple though, maybe you could explain?

    Evidence for evolution comes from various fields of biology and geology, providing a comprehensive and well-supported understanding of how species change over time. Here are some key pieces of evidence:
    1. Fossil Record
    Transitional Fossils: Fossils that show intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants. Examples include the transition from fish to amphibians (Tiktaalik), reptiles to birds (Archaeopteryx), and land mammals to whales (Ambulocetus).
    Stratigraphy: Fossils found in different geological layers demonstrate a timeline of gradual change, with simpler organisms found in older layers and more complex ones in newer layers.
    2. Comparative Anatomy
    Homologous Structures: Body parts that are similar in structure but may serve different functions in different species, indicating a common ancestor. For example, the forelimbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats.
    Vestigial Structures: Body parts that have lost their original function through evolution. Examples include the human appendix, the pelvis in whales, and the wings of flightless birds like ostriches.
    3. Comparative Embryology
    Embryonic Development: Similarities in the early stages of development in different species suggest a common ancestry. For instance, vertebrate embryos exhibit pharyngeal pouches (which develop into gills in fish and parts of the ear and throat in mammals).
    4. Molecular Biology
    DNA and Protein Similarities: The genetic code is universal among all living organisms, and closely related species have more similar DNA sequences. Comparisons of specific genes (like the cytochrome c gene) and proteins (like hemoglobin) show degrees of relatedness.
    Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs): These are viral sequences that have become part of the genome. Shared ERVs in the same genomic locations among different species indicate common ancestry.
    5. Biogeography
    Geographic Distribution: The distribution of species around the world reflects their evolutionary history. For example, the unique species found on islands (like the finches of the Galápagos Islands) demonstrate adaptive radiation from a common ancestor.
    Plate Tectonics: The movement of continents explains the historical distribution of species. Fossils of the same species found on different continents support the idea that these continents were once connected.
    6. Direct Observation
    Microevolution: Changes within a species can be directly observed. Examples include the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, pesticide resistance in insects, and changes in the beak sizes of finches documented by Peter and Rosemary Grant in the Galápagos Islands.
    Speciation Events: New species have been observed forming in real-time, such as the apple maggot fly, which shifted from hawthorn trees to apple trees, leading to reproductive isolation and the beginnings of speciation.
    7. Experimental Evidence
    Artificial Selection: Selective breeding in plants and animals demonstrates how selection can lead to significant changes over relatively short periods. Dogs, for example, have been bred for various traits resulting in a wide variety of breeds from a common ancestor.
    These lines of evidence collectively support the theory of evolution, demonstrating how species have adapted and changed over time through natural processes.

      second: from the beginning of evolution theory, they every time claim the designer isn't intelligent because they don't know the purpose of something inside a creation but after some years, scientists discover the purpose but these evolutionary claim new things because they don't know. if someone goes back and look at what they had said without purpose, he will laugh because discoveries show they are so important.
      Third: we don't have a problem in natural selection and mutations. However, if a manufacturer makes two types of iphone, then we keep destroying one type. this isn't evolution. Evolution means we will a get a Samsung from these iphones.

The vestigial organs and other things also they were coincidentally in the same place having a continous location. So if by just a thought that there was a god who still created other living beings with vestigial organs that are detriment to the being that wouldnt be inteligent nor saying this god was the one saying he just created us from dust and ribs i dont think the idea of because thats what fits in evolution because we have more evidence on this than that dust and ribs story for convenience and that were created by the image of god and chimpanzees are 97% of that image.

      John Daedalus, there are a few theories out there with some potential but the problem is we are teaching these theories as facts when they have come nowhere near proving naturalism correct.
      There is simply too much extrapolation and theorizing being taught as facts when they simply aren’t yet. People are also taught that supernaturalism is simply stupid and wrong even though naturalists have come nowhere close to proving they are correct.
      This is what troubles me about the whole natural/supernatural debate. This is why I asked the questions I did. Naturalists often laugh at the straight forward answers given by religion and philosophy but always fail to give the same straight forward answers while insisting the other two studies are wrong.

      Ducky McDuckface, naturalism has never come through on any of its claims about the origin of life or the universe. The Bible, in particular, serves as historical records and eyewitness accounts to supernatural events. Darwinism and naturalism have nether of these things going for them.
      Unless you have disproven every last account of supernatural activity ever reported then you cannot say it has not happened. I agree that the supernatural is more irregular than natural processes but that does not mean it has not happened.
      There is plenty of archeology to support Biblical claims about the past but unless you have disproven all of them you can’t say it never occurred.
      Just because you have not witnessed the supernatural doesn’t mean someone else has not.

      peer reviewed study..........
      jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/485161 ............
      and scientific facts mentioned in the Bible before their human discovery by a divine influence,
      www.eternal-productions.org/101science.html .......
      For example…..
      1. The singing stars. Job 38:7 declares the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God
      shouted for joy. It sounds like a bit of Bible poetry but not much more. After all, stars shine,
      not sing, right? Well, it turns out scientists have been able to convert patterns from start
      light into audio wavelengths, according to Discovery News. The “amount of hiss” in the audio
      reportedly allows scientists to measure the surface gravity on a star and gauge where it is in
      its stellar evolution.
      2. Weight of the winds. In Job 28:25, we are told that God weighed out the wind. This one may be
      no more self-evident to us than it was to an ancient Israelite reader of this text. But, we know
      from modern science that air, since it does have mass, weighs something. You might be surprised
      to know how much though: an estimated one ton of air is weighing down on shoulders, according to
      this science site (which explains that we don’t feel it because the air is exerting its force in
      all directions). This is pretty basic stuff for modern scientists, but it’s quite a credit to the
      inerrancy of Scripture that the author of Job got it right so long ago (approximately in the
      second millennium BC).
      3. A massive fountain of water deep beneath the Earth!!! Genesis 7:11 "In the six hundredth year
      of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
      fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
      www.thesun.co.uk/news/2242110/scientists-discovered-water-from-biblical-great-flood-in-
      worlds-deepest-hole/
      www.express.co.uk/news/weird/733026/Russia-science-Kola-borehole-Noah-floodwater-Bible-
      Genesis-theory-of-12
      creation.com/oceans-of-water-deep-inside-the-earth
      "Scientists dig the world’s deepest hole - and find ‘water from NOAH’S FLOOD’ at the bottom The
      revelation also reportedly "disproves the myth" that the earth is made up of dry rocky layers"
      All these would stand the scrutiny of a judge and jury for the case of a creator Gods existence
      and the legitimacy of the Christian Faith!!!
      But I am feeling generous so I will give you two more great forms of evidence, how about this
      book where a forensic officer who is atheist studies and researches the Bible to see if it proves
      a historical Jesus and if he was murdered wrongfully?
      Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels
      www.amazon.com/Cold-Case-Christianity-Homicide-Detective-Investigates/dp/1434704696,
      afterward he became Christian!!!
      Also, why don't you just pray to God yourself and ask him if he is real? What more can I say???
      Then you would have
      personal evidence and proof of Gods interaction yourself.....
      I mean, there is actually way way way more evidence for God than this but it either would go over
      your head or you would not understand it properly and you would question it, but this is really
      solid evidence and proof I have given you up above that would hold up in a court of
      law........... if you decide to RUN from it, at
      least admit to yourself that is what you are doing........
      Do you believe your life, body, family and the ground you walk on are all a gift or something
      else? If you believe they are all something else then what do you think they all are then?***

In fact what they’re dead wrong about is that “producing their own kind” is talking about giving birth to, not evolving into over very long periods.

The evidence that made me an atheist way back in the 60s was travelling the world in the Royal Navy and seeing at first hand the horrors of the third world. When you have seen crippled children begging then it does make you wonder. Screw Religion.

      My love of biology, evolution and genetics pushed me to get a PhD. Then I became a theist :)

    I was sent by Thomas at Holy Koolaid, and I am glad that I was. We are Dark Brethren, bound together by our neurological pathways screaming: Provide evidence, or else out of my face. Please, keep 'em coming!
