lets talk about natural selection then, since that is something more easy to discuss. You cannot prove that natural selection has EVER happened. To say that evolution is true, you have to be able to assume that say a bird started to grow gills and fins and became able to swim.

Wow, look at all the holes you've poked in the theory. Time to believe the word of your book. How could I have been so blind?
Also, World of Warcraft? Go outside, throw a football, catch a fish, talk to a woman. The only natural selection I hope for is that you losers will never have sex with a woman.
You aren't describing evolution, you are describing metamorphosis.
And yes, natural selection can be proven. Finches of Galapagos Island.
No, to prove natural selection has ever happened you would need to show that a trait, like say camouflage, give some individuals a better chance of surviving than others. Which has been done.
Natural selection means that some individuals are selected for, or against, by (their) nature. The clue was in the name.
err, no, not at all. It's pretty common knowledge that fish predate birds firstly, and secondly both the means to swim and breath underwater would not have evolved instantaneously and simultaneously.
Also, natural selection, of course, assumes mutations which we know and can freely observe exist (ie. we're not all clones of each other) are either beneficial, detrimental, or neutral. The obvious trend being that beneficial traits become more prevalent (while neutral ones pile up) and detrimental traits die out quickly. This is where your bizarre notion that w were created comes from. We seem 'perfect' (I suppose in some respects) because most every beneficial trait has been retained while detrimental ones have not and here we are.
You spend all your time on WoW you won't ever breed, natural selection at work.
Yes lets. Firstly the evidence shows that over millions of years some fish grew lungs(see lung fish) and were then able to survive outside of the water for a time. Over time, those fish with lungs, which lived in non perenial waters were favoured as they could obviously survive dry spells better than their gilled neighbours, etc, etc. However, it did not stop with fish, natural selection has favoured a bigger brain in the genus homo and has enabled those individuals with a larger brain case to be favoured hence Homo sapiens Funditardus with a brain about 1000cc and about 2000cc for Homo sapiens Atheiensis. Atheists are living proof of natural selection and therefore, evolution. Natural selection has caused the evolution of a larger brain case in Homo sapiens Atheiensis, hence we no longer cling to superstitious notions of God as held by Babylonian goat herders thousands of years ago, but have evolved into independent, logical, free-thinkers. Therefore, YOU LOSE, WE WIN, so get the fuck off of our planet unless you are willing to pull your heads out of your arses and evolve for shit sake!
Lets talk about magic creation then, since that is something more easy to discuss. You cannot say magic creation has EVER happened. To say that creation is true, you have to be able to assume that a giant man with a long white beard who lives on clouds made people out of dirt then got mad at them when they ate his magic fruit.
natural selection=the animal that has a gimpy leg because of the genes it inherited from its parents is the one who gets eaten, so it itself doesnt have babies.
therefore, it will not pass on its gimpy leg to its babies.
therefore, the next generation of animals of that species will not have gimpy legs, and so will be more likely to survive and have babies of their own.
thats natural selection. the animal with inferior genes gets killed before it can pass on said inferior genes by having babies.

Fuck you.
Natural selection happens when predators eat the weak, and when females choose the most powerful males to impregnate them. Both of these things happen every single day.
A dog-like creature went back to the ocean some 50 million years ago. The front legs became fins, the back legs fused together to form a tail, the lungs became larger and larger, and hay presto; we have seals, dolphins, whales, sea lions, walruses and a couple of other similar species. They've still got the pelvic bone to prove they once had legs. The dolphin is the "human" of the sea; highly intelligent, speaks with whistles, give each other names and grieve their dead. You were saying
?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
