The evidence for evolution can be made from four main sources:
1. the fossil record of change in earlier species
2. the chemical and anatomical similarities of related life forms
3. the geographic distribution of related species
4. the recorded genetic changes in living organisms over many generations
Natural selection itself is sufficient evidence to explain the functionality and complexity of the biological world.
To quote Stephen Jay Gould and Dawkins on debating a creationist:
"The point is not, he said, whether or not you would 'win' the debate. Winning is not what the creationists realistically aspire to. For them, it is sufficient that the debate happens at all. They need the publicity. We don't. To the gullible public which is their natural constituency, it is enough that their man is seen sharing a platform with a real scientist."
