Evolution Theory - please show the proofs

[Captain Scarlet]

Conceptually remove all of mankinds (man made) classification system. Just looked at the whole of life on this planet and ithe facts:

- there is a common heriatge to us and all other life forms
- we share common structures
- we pass through similar development stages in the womb as other creatures
- we contain a myriad of useless vestigial structures
- we contain (as all other life forms do) junk DNA which has no value to us but if activated would lead to the re-introduction of lost features
- older structures (with different uses in animals sharing a common lineage) have been co-opted for new uses

You could conclude with no evidence at all that a designer (whomever it was) used common materials, morphed them a bit and then capriciously left us with deliberate design flaws. Or you could conclude after studying, taxonomy, phylogeny, ontogeny, biology, paleontology and evo-devo that ALL the facts support evolutionary theory (a blind causal bottom up process) which also has powerful predictive powers used and applied today in farming for one example.

Micro and macroevolution are just words used to describe the transition of life through a man made classifcation system. Attacking evolutionary theory by stating I accept speciation and/or micro evolution, but not macroevolution is just ignorance and incredulity. Evolution does not rely AT ALL on macroevolution being true as it is just a convenience to describe large passages of time. It relies on small gradual changes to life forms as phenotypes do not copy perfectly from generation to generation. The speed of change is driven by environmental forces and the ability of the factors which drive mutation to accelerate or hold back change. Epigenetics has shown us that these changes can if needed happen far faster than anyone imagined. We have discovered all of these things through a lot of hard work and failed experimentation over 10s of years. None of it was gleaned from our armchairs reading bronze age myths. Those who deny evolution are in denial. But because Science is open to review and revision the door is always open to respectable counter theories which can explain more...so far despite millions of pounds the fundamentalists have turned up ...nothing. Still waiting!
